Wednesday’s Timeline:
Afternoon storm coverage will be similar to the past few days. Many folks will see mid 90s, feeling like the low 100s, but there is still a chance for hit-and-miss showers and storms that can bring a brief downpour.
This pattern will repeat for the next few days and into the weekend. Extra slugs of tropical moisture from a weak surface low pressure east of Louisiana will drift into Texas.
Tracking the tropics, tracking the Gulf:
The 5th named storm has formed in the Atlantic, Tropical Storm Erin.
Erin is forecast to become a hurricane midweek and rapidly intensify over the weekend into a Category 3 hurricane, which would be our first hurricane of the season.
Right now, the model consensus is that the storm will take a northerly turn away from the Caribbean by the weekend. However, there is still uncertainty about whether this will approach the U.S. or stay in the Atlantic.
Two things that will determine if the storm moves more east or northwest are the Bermuda High and an upper-level trough that will set up across the east coast of the United States.
If the trough is strong enough, the storm system will have a great chance to get pushed away from the East Coast.
Erin is not expected to impact the Gulf Coast at this time. However, we’ll still watch the cluster of storms around the disorganized low sitting just east of Louisiana.

Your extended forecast:
Daily showers and storm chances continue through the end of the week. Watch for brief downpours and stay hydrated as feels-like temperatures will reach the triple digits.
