This afternoon’s forecast:

This afternoon we will see partly to mostly cloudy skies with chances for showers and storms, mainly west of I-45. Rain showers have been pushing inland, giving the area a 30 to 40% chance through the afternoon. Some of these downpours could be on the hefty side, especially the later we get into the afternoon. Highs will top out in the mid-80s.

Our normal high this time of year is 90 degrees, which means we have seasonal temperatures this holiday weekend. While 2015 set the record for Houston rain on Memorial Day.

Tuesday will once again bring highs in the mid-80s with afternoon showers and storms. There’s a 40% chance of seeing rainfall, and if you get a storm you’ll see the temperatures quickly drop thanks to rain-cooled air!
