There is a a 50% chance to see another tropical low develop in the Bay of Campache, similar to the location that Alberto formed. This one, we’ll be tracking through the weekend, however, with the strong high pressure centered across the southeast US, it will steer whatever form the storm takes also into Mexico, away from the Texas coastline.

Today’s Forecast:

Meanwhile in Houston for the end of the week and weekend, we will get back to a more typical summer forecast: Hot, sticky and humid. We’ll see a few scattered afternoon storms leftover from the overall flow of Alberto as it moves into Mexico. The weekend will be hot and mostly rain-free aside from a few afternoon pop-up storms each afternoon.
