Tropical disturbances and a front will bring the potential for drenching rain and moisture for parts of the southern United States, including Houston.
This week's high temperatures will be consistently in the low 90s and nighttime lows will remain in the mid-70s.
However, an approaching cold front Friday and Saturday, from fellow Texan city, Dallas, could draw in tropical moisture from the Gulf of Mexico and assist in bringing much needed rain to the drought stricken area.

A tropical disturbance or two may be lurking just offshore as well.
The greatest coverage and frequency of storms will span Friday and Saturday.

These storms will bring much awaited rain to the drought-stricken city but it will not bring any prolonged rains to the area.
After moving out of Houston, the front will move eastward along the upper Gulf Coast later during the weekend.
Sunny skies and humidity will return to the city on Sunday to finish up the weekend.
