Saharan Dust swapped for tropical moisture this weekend, increasing storm chances in Houston

Thunderstorms and sporadic showers are still moving north throughout southeast Texas. After dark, the likelihood of storms will decrease.

Friday will begin warm and muggy, with highs in the seventies. Showers along the coast are possible. Isolated storms could occur inland as the afternoon wears on. Otherwise, as the Saharan dust slowly travels east out of SE Texas, it will be another hot and dusty day. The humidity makes it feel like 100 degrees even if the high is in the lower 90s.

As tropical moisture flows back in, the likelihood of rain will start to increase again on Saturday and Sunday. Widespread thunderstorms are expected to be triggered by this on Saturday and Sunday afternoon.
