Tuesday
The excessive temperature on Monday at Bush Intercontinental and Interest airports reached 103 levels, and right this moment ought to be a few levels cooler to associate with principally sunny skies. The century mark will nonetheless be reachable for a lot of the area away from the coast, nonetheless, so please proceed to take warmth precautions. Winds might be very gentle, maybe blowing at 5 mph out of the southwest or west. Rain chances are high about 20 to 30 p.c close to the coast right this moment, and maybe 10 to twenty p.c inland. If there have been a manner to purchase a number of rainfall raffle tickets, I’d undoubtedly be in “Take my cash!” mode.
Wednesday
One other day so much like Tuesday.

Tropics
The Nationwide Hurricane Middle is constant to foretell that a tropical blob close to the Louisiana coast has a 30 p.c likelihood of changing into a tropical despair or storm in the course of the subsequent 5 days. That is more likely to make for very moist weekend in Southern Louisiana, with 5 to 10 inches potential in and round New Orleans. Sadly, Houston is more likely to fall simply outdoors the heavy rainfall boundary because the system strikes into Louisiana.
