A stalled front just to our northwest will cause mainly afternoon showers and thunderstorms through Friday. Expect a mix of clouds and sun outside of any wet weather, with highs in the upper 80s, perhaps touching 90.
A second cold front will push through on Saturday, helping to shove the best moisture to our south. There will still be a chance of showers Saturday, but a decreasing chance of rain will begin. A more pleasant air mass will move in on Sunday and the beginning of next week along with refreshing east or northeast breezes.
Tropics:
A system in the western Gulf of Mexico rapidly organized into Tropical Storm Humberto today. It will move north into the Galveston area tonight, then push northeast Thursday and Friday before being absorbed by the same cold front which will improve our weather this weekend. Areas of upper Texas, Louisiana and Mississippi can expect some enhanced rainfall over the next couple days.
The system a little over a thousand miles east of the Lesser Antilles is now a tropical depression. It will likely become a tropical storm (Ingrid) tonight or Thursday. Movement will be rather slow towards the west-northwest the next several days, and the system will only be approaching the longitude of the Lesser Antilles early next week.
