Houston is expected to see an increasing chance of showers and thunderstorms this week. There is a 30 percent chance of rain today, mainly between 2 and 3 p.m. Temperatures will remain high, reaching around 90 degrees, with southeast winds at 5 to 10 mph, according to the National Weather Service.
Showers and thunderstorms in Texas are expected as a high pressure system moves out, allowing Gulf moisture to increase humidity and rain chances. "The dry air will be focused across the eastern half of the country," with rising temperatures in those areas, as reported by Click2Houston. The National Hurricane Center is not currently monitoring any areas in the Atlantic Basin for tropical development. Saharan dust over the Atlantic is helping to limit hurricane activity near Houston.
