Live Radar:
We have rain chances through sunset Saturday. Check out our live radar here.
Tonight’s Forecast:
Tonight will be much more comfortable for those who have seen showers with temperatures in the 70s. The rainfall was able to cool temperatures by about ten degrees.
Saturday’s Forecast:
We have more rain chances Saturday. There is a low flood threat. All of our showers and storms will be diurnal (the opposite of nocturnal). This means they are most active during the heat of the day and dissipate around sunset. We can start to see storms by the coast in the morning.
The storms will push inland through the day. These storms can contain a lot of lightning.
Storms will dissipate by evening, typically sunset is when most storms fizzle. This means by 9PM we will only have rain showers in our area.
If you do not see showers highs will be in the lower 90s. Factor in the humidity and it will feel like the lower triple digits. Please be careful while cleaning up outside. Listen to your body and take breaks in the shade. Drink water. If you need help cooling down, cooling centers are activated across Houston.
Tracking the tropics:
There is no tropical activity in the Gulf, Caribbean or Atlantic Ocean. The only spot to watch is a cluster of storms off the coast of northern Florida. The threat of those storms becoming Debby are now down to nearly zero.
Another factor in keeping the tropics quiet is huge plums of Saharan dust that are helping to snuff out any development from tropical waves at this point.
10-day Forecast:
For those that don’t have power, it will be very uncomfortable until the power comes back on. Rain chances pick up a bit for the next few days which may bring a little relief but the humidity won’t be going anywhere. Otherwise, we’re set up for more intense summer heat and drying out going into next week.
