Houston weather: Strong storms possible north of Houston on Thursday, Storm Alert Day for Friday
The Brief
Few Strong Storms North This Evening
Fox 26 Storm Alert Day Friday
eavy Rain Potential, then Improving this Weekend
HOUSTON - Strong storms will be possible on Friday across the Houston area. As a result, a FOX 26 Storm Alert Day has been issued ahead of the impending weather.
A Severe Thunderstorm Watch is in effect until 9 p.m. northwest of Huntsville and Houston that includes College Station, Waco and Austin. Watch out for a few strong storms that could reach Huntsville, Navasota, and Brenham before midnight.
The real action could arrive by Friday afternoon and evening with a line of slow-moving heavy storms possible. Friday is a Fox 26 Storm Alert Day to give you a heads up that impactful weather is on the way. Biggest risk will likely be the threat for some flooded streets.
Our skies should gradually clear on Saturday as drier air moves in from the north. By Sunday and Monday mornings, lows are expected to drop into the low 60s, so that will be refreshing. Afternoon temperatures will climb to the middle 80s.
A rather intense jet stream disturbance will move over Texas around Tuesday through Thursday of next week, so storms look likely again. It's too early to talk about locations or rain amounts, but just keep in mind that other than Sunday and Monday, the weather will stay "unsettled."

Houston weather: Hot, hazy weekend ahead
The Brief Heat Wave Roasting The Weekend Saharan Dust Moves into Texas Friday Evening Rainy/Stormy Pattern Next Week HOUSTON - A hot and very hazy weekend is on tap for the Bayou City this weekend. This weekend, we're looking for afternoon high temperatures to range from around 95-100 inland and near 90 along the coast. This heat comes along with heat index (feels like) values as high as 105. The sky will likely appear hazy by sunset Friday, and we could get interesting-looking sunrises and sunsets this weekend. At this point, major changes to air quality are not expected, but the combination of ozone and light dust could raise air quality ratings from moderate to "unhealthy for sensitive groups". A large area of high pressure that is bringing us heat and steering severe storms to West Texas and Oklahoma will stay strong through Sunday, then start to break down as low pressure moves in from the west. That low will bring a comp-late pattern change with clouds, off and on downpours and highs in the 80s. So far, so good in the Gulf and Caribbean over the next week or so. The eastern Pacific Ocean (south and west coast of Mexico) looks very active over the next week or two. The Source Information provided by your Gulf Coast Weather Authority Team.

Houston weather: Very warm Tuesday in the 90s, scattered storms Wednesday
The Brief Warm & Breezy Today with a Storm Possible Scattered Storms Wednesday High Heat and Saharan Dust on the Way HOUSTON - It's mostly sunny, warm and breezy Tuesday and as we move into the afternoon, an isolated storm is possible. Our afternoon high temperatures will rise from the low 90s today to the mid and possibly upper 90s by late this week into the weekend. Along with the heat, watch for one or two storms late today, then our highest rain chances arriving tomorrow afternoon. Beyond that, look for a daily isolated shower of storms with heat index values above 100. We will also watch for possible air quality issues beginning Thursday. A few times each year, mostly from May to August, a "Saharan Air Layer" will make its way across the Atlantic Ocean and move over the Caribbean and sometimes reach Texas. It looks like the latest plume of Saharan dust could arrive in Texas as early as Thursday and reach its peak Friday and Saturday. The dust is more noticeable at sunrise and sunset, but can also appear as haze during the day. It doesn't always affect air quality at the surface, but when it does, it can cause allergy-like symptoms, so check back for updates on air quality levels. An upper-level area of low pressure could mix down to the surface and create a small tropical low anywhere from Florida to North Carolina. The chance is slim, and it would have no effect on Texas.

Houston weather: Severe thunderstorms possible
The Brief Severe Threat Increasing For Houston Sunday Evening - Scattered Strong Storms Typical June Weather Expected Next Week Hurricane Season Begins HOUSTON - Southeast Texas residents can expect a hot and humid Sunday with an Ozone Action Day in effect and an increased risk of severe thunderstorms developing later in the day, primarily bringing threats of large hail and damaging winds. Most of the FOX 26 area will see afternoon highs back in the lower 90s. Another disturbance will bring scattered showers and storms Sunday afternoon and evening. Watch for these storms to move in from the north to the south across Houston. A few of these storms could be on the strong side with hail, gusty winds and frequent lightning. The Storm Prediction Center has Southeast Texas under a Level 1 and/or 2 (out of 5) risk for a severe thunderstorm with the highest risk north. Also, keep in mind that ozone levels will be elevated on Sunday. So an air quality alert continues through Sunday evening. If you have respiratory issues, you may want to limit your amount of time outdoors. Weather for the first week of June looks like typical close to summer weather with temperatures in the low to middle 90s and a few chances for showers and storms. Heat index values will likely be near 100. So be careful in the heat by staying hydrated and taking breaks in the shade if you have to work outside. The 2025 Atlantic Hurricane Season begins Sunday. All is looking quiet for now with Saharan dust moving across the Atlantic Ocean. NOAA is predicting 13-19 named storms, 6-10 hurricanes and 3-5 major hurricanes. Now is the time to prepare. Tropical Storm Alvin formed in the eastern Pacific Ocean on Thursday and has now fallen apart and become Post-Tropical near Cabo San Lucas. The Source Your Gulf Coast Weather Authority
