Houston residents can expect another day of scattered storms, according to a forecast published by the National Weather Service, with a 50 percent chance of showers and thunderstorms mainly before 4 p.m. today. The storms could bring heavy rainfall, with some areas potentially seeing a quarter to half an inch of new precipitation. The city is also set to experience patchy fog before 9 a.m. and then partial sunshine with a high near 89 degrees. Meanwhile, tonight's weather is slated to be partly cloudy with lows around 77 degrees.
Continuing the trend, FOX 26 reports a storm alert due to the possibility of heavy downpours throughout the late afternoon which might include lightning and small-sized hail. Despite there being no current flood watches, this marks the eighth consecutive day of rain for Houston. However, residents might soon to get experience a respite from the consistent rainfall, as the weather pattern is forecasted to change in the next couple of days.
The National Weather Service predicts that tomorrow will offer a decreased 30 percent chance of storms, mostly after 1 p.m., under mostly sunny skies with high temperatures nearing the 90-degree mark. The humidity, however, is expected to be very high, even by Houston's standards. As the week progresses, isolated showers and storms are still possible, but the intensity is not anticipated to be as severe as recent days.
Looking ahead, both sources indicate the potential for weather fluctuations later in the week, with the National Weather Service forecasting a 60 percent chance of showers and thunderstorms on Juneteenth, while FOX 26 suggests scattered storms may once again increase around Thursday and Friday. Meanwhile, although Houston's attention remains on local storms, the Atlantic tropics are calm, whereas the Pacific Ocean has been more active, having hosted four tropical storms to date, with a potential fifth—named Erick—posing a threat of heavy rain to Guatemala and southern Mexico.
