Houston weather: Chance for storms all this week
The Brief
Steamy, stormy week ahead.
Daily round of storms is expected.
Hot and humid away from storms.
HOUSTON - The combination of jet stream disturbances and lots of warm, humid air will lead to a good chance for storms each day.
Storms could include occasional threats of strong storms or heavy rain as well. Make sure to seek shelter when you hear thunder. Storms can form very quickly, and we don't want you stuck at the beach or park with lightning in the area.
This past weekend brought the hottest weather of the year so far with a high of 97 and 98 on Saturday and Sunday. Clouds and scattered storms should prevent temps from getting that high this week, but very high humidity could still lead to feels like values above 100.
So far, so good in the Gulf and Caribbean over the next week or so, but two tropical storms are spinning in the eastern Pacific Ocean. TS Barbara and Cosme are not expected to hit land, but will send big waves toward Mexico's Pacific coast.

It wasn't a strong enough system for long enough to cause any issues." NHC forecast about Hurricane Barbara: "Some slight additional strengthening is possible today, but a weakening trend is forecast to begin on Tuesday. Hurricane-force winds extend outward up to 10 miles (20 km) from the center and tropical-storm-force winds extend outward up to 80 miles."

Hurricane Barbara forms in Eastern Pacific becoming first of 2025 season
Hurricane Barbara formed southwest of Mexico in the Eastern Pacific Ocean on Monday morning, making it the first hurricane of the 2025 season. The National Hurricane Center (NHC) said that Barbara's maximum sustained winds reached 75 mph, officially designating it as a hurricane. Once a tropical storm's winds reach 74 mph, it's called a hurricane and maintains the same name it had when it was a tropical storm. Hurricane Barbara is currently located about 155 miles southwest of Manzanillo, Mexico, and is being monitored by the NHC. The NHC said rainfall totals of 2-4 inches, with locally higher amounts, are forecast for the Mexican states of Guerrero, Michoacan, Colima and Jalisco through Monday, raising concerns of flooding and mudslides. In addition, large waves at local beaches are expected to cause life-threatening rip currents. A few hundred miles to the west of Barbara, Tropical Storm Cosme is forecast to intensify into a hurricane later Monday. Cosme is moving toward the west-northwest near 6 mph, and this general motion is expected to continue through Monday, the NHC said. A turn toward the north with a decrease in forward speed is expected Monday night, followed by a faster north-northeastward motion from Tuesday through Wednesday. Maximum sustained winds have increased to near 65 mph with higher gusts, the NHC said in its latest advisory. Rapid weakening is expected Tuesday night and Wednesday. Tropical Storm Cosme Forecast To Become Hurricane Later Monday In Eastern Pacific An area of low pressure is forecast to develop later this week south of southern Mexico. The NHC said environmental conditions appear conducive for some gradual development of this future low-pressure system, and a tropical depression could form late this week or over the weekend. According to the NHC, it has a medium chance of development over the next seven days. The Eastern Pacific hurricane season runs from May 15 to Nov. article source: Hurricane Barbara forms in Eastern Pacific becoming first of 2025 season
