HOUSTON – While widespread heavy rain is not anticipated, be prepared for some brief downpours today.<\/p>\n
Spotty showers, storms this afternoon and evening <\/p>\n
A jet stream disturbance, coupled with the persistent onshore flow from the Gulf, will provide enough moisture and instability to generate scattered rain and a few isolated storms this morning. While widespread heavy rain is not anticipated, be prepared for some brief downpours.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The main event arrives later in the day as a front pushes through. A few storms could be strong and severe, especially north and east of the Houston area.\u00a0<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
Another thing to watch will be the chance that a lightning strike could start a fire in the driest, most vulnerable areas.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Areas north and east of Houston are at a level 1 risk of severe weather. Isolated small hail and strong winds are possible with storms in these areas.<\/p>\n
Big changes Sunday <\/p>\n
The cold front is expected to sweep through early Sunday morning. Once it clears the area, the afternoon will feature sunny skies, comfortable temperatures, but also a huge drop in humidity.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Very dry air along with northern breezes on Sunday mean a higher risk for fires across our area and much of Texas.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Finally, Monday morning should be the coolest of next week, with upper 50s possible.<\/p>\n

Tropics <\/p>\n
The National Hurricane Center is still monitoring a tropical wave in the central Atlantic. This tropical wave is expected to continue moving west and eventually into the Caribbean Sea. It has a low 30% chance of developing into a tropical system over the next 7 days in the Caribbean.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Another weak area of low pressure in the northern Atlantic has a very low chance of turning into a brief tropical or subtropical system before moving into cooler waters.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Tropical development is not expected in any other part of the Atlantic basin for now.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n
Keep in mind that hurricane season runs through the end of November.<\/p>\n
