While similar to the hit and miss sea breeze storms we\u2019ve had all week, we now have tropical moisture mixed in. That means rain will be more widespread and it will be heavier. It won\u2019t rain all day, but storms will be more numerous. There is no need to cancel your Saturday plans but have a plan B where you can wait for the storms to pass over you. <\/p>\n<p>Storms in Houston Saturday (Copyright 2026 by KPRC Click2Houston &#8211; All rights reserved.)Rain totals range from a half inch to two inches (Copyright 2026 by KPRC Click2Houston &#8211; All rights reserved.)<b>Sunday\u2019s forecast:<\/b><\/p>\n<p class=\"Box-_wrDxHtU__Box-sc-10sa3ie-0 Text-nO2aZ44r__TextBase-sc-s2hv5x-0 jJNfBD fSvavs article-text\">Rain should be more widespread Sunday with our first street flooding threat in our eastern cities. The day is not a washout but it\u2019s starting to get close. <\/p>\n<p>Heaviest rain is over our eastern cities Sunday afternoon (Copyright 2026 by KPRC Click2Houston &#8211; All rights reserved.)Marginal threat for our eastern cities (Copyright 2026 by KPRC Click2Houston &#8211; All rights reserved.)<b>Monday and Tuesday\u2019s forecast:<\/b><\/p>\n<p class=\"Box-_wrDxHtU__Box-sc-10sa3ie-0 Text-nO2aZ44r__TextBase-sc-s2hv5x-0 jJNfBD fSvavs article-text\">These are the two days I want you to make sure you\u2019re prepared for. There is the potential for street flooding both days. We haven\u2019t had a heavy rain forecast like this in a month. Not only do we have tropical moisture streaming in from the Gulf, but we also have a front that will enhance the lift of the storms. This combination may lead to rain totals of 2\u2033-3\u2033. <\/p>\n<p>A slightly higher threat from Houston to the east (Copyright 2026 by KPRC Click2Houston &#8211; All rights reserved.)<b>The impact of Saharan Dust:<\/b><\/p>\n<p class=\"Box-_wrDxHtU__Box-sc-10sa3ie-0 Text-nO2aZ44r__TextBase-sc-s2hv5x-0 jJNfBD fSvavs article-text\">One part of the forecast that remains difficult to model is the impact of Saharan dust. We expect a plume of dust to move over Southeast Texas from Monday evening through Tuesday, and current imagery suggests it could be fairly dense.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Box-_wrDxHtU__Box-sc-10sa3ie-0 Text-nO2aZ44r__TextBase-sc-s2hv5x-0 jJNfBD fSvavs article-text\">Thick layers of dust aloft tend to dry the atmosphere and promote sinking air, which can limit the intensity of rainfall. If the dust is less concentrated, however, its tiny particles can serve as condensation nuclei and actually enhance rain development.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Box-_wrDxHtU__Box-sc-10sa3ie-0 Text-nO2aZ44r__TextBase-sc-s2hv5x-0 jJNfBD fSvavs article-text\">At this point, I expect abundant Gulf moisture to outweigh the dust\u2019s suppressing effects. Still, if storm impacts are more limited than expected on Monday and Tuesday, Saharan dust is a likely reason. <\/p>\n<p>Thick dust is possible Monday and Tuesday (Copyright 2026 by KPRC Click2Houston &#8211; All rights reserved.)<b>10 Day Forecast:<\/b><\/p>\n<p class=\"Box-_wrDxHtU__Box-sc-10sa3ie-0 Text-nO2aZ44r__TextBase-sc-s2hv5x-0 jJNfBD fSvavs article-text\">Once we get through Tuesday high pressure will begin to build in. By the end of next week drier weather is expected with hotter temperatures. <\/p>\n<p>What to expect through Monday of next week (Copyright 2026 by KPRC Click2Houston &#8211; All rights reserved.)Anthony&#8217;s Weather Lab<\/p>\n<p class=\"Box-_wrDxHtU__Box-sc-10sa3ie-0 Text-nO2aZ44r__TextBase-sc-s2hv5x-0 bTVksG\">More Stories Like This In Our Email Newsletter<\/p>\n<p>Copyright 2026 by KPRC Click2Houston &#8211; All rights reserved.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Saturday\u2019s forecast: HOUSTON \u2013 More storms are expected this weekend.
