Houston residents can expect temperatures in the mid-90s this weekend, with sunny skies on Saturday. Rain chances increase Sunday afternoon, with showers possibly continuing into next week, as per Click2Houston

On Friday, Houston will be hot and humid, with highs in the lower 90s. An air quality alert is in effect for Harris, Galveston, and Brazoria counties. "Any rain over the next few days is expected to be minimal, with most of the area likely to see less than half an inch," as reported by Click2Houston. Houston’s weather service forecasts "A slight chance of showers and thunderstorms between 1pm and 4pm, then a slight chance of showers after 4pm." The chance of rain will rise slightly over the weekend to 20–30 percent, according to the National Weather Service.

A tropical wave in the eastern Atlantic is causing disorganized thunderstorms with a low chance of development after Tropical Storm Gabrielle. "Make sure your family is prepared for whatever comes our way this hurricane season," says Click2Houston. Fall officially begins next Monday, but forecasts show temperatures and humidity will stay high, with above-average heat and occasional rain through the end of September.
