Discussion
High pressure will remain east of here through the weekend and a couple of frontal systems will generate some instability in the atmosphere. As a result, it’ll remain hot and sticky for the next couple of days and there is the threat for showers and thunderstorms both today and on Saturday. Any thunderstorm that forms can be strong and produce locally heavy rainfall. It quiets down a bit for Sunday and Monday and overall rain chances will diminish somewhat.
Elsewhere, Hurricane Beryl is now a category 2 storm and it will cross the Yucatan Peninsula today. The movement over land will likely weaken Beryl to tropical storm status and then it could strengthen this weekend -even back to hurricane levels - as it pushes over the warm waters of the southwestern Gulf of Mexico. A turn to the NW late this weekend could bring landfall on Sunday night/early Monday to the southern part of Texas.
