Scattered afternoon, evening storms; Tropical system could form by weekend

Most storms and showers will be fizzling out by 10pm. Heading into the overnight hours we will dry out and wake up dry tomorrow morning.

A few of Tuesday’s storms may be capable of producing hail, lightning and damaging wind gusts.

These rain chances will only increase into the weekend.

In the Pacific, Agatha is rapidly weakening after making landfall as a Category 2 hurricane in Mexico Monday.

The remnants of Agatha will likely form the first named storm of the Atlantic hurricane season within the next five days. The first name on the list would be Alex.

Ample shear in the Gulf of Mexico should keep any system that would form on the weaker side. Regardless of formation, expect a wet and windy Friday and weekend as a result.
