An updated report was issued from the National Weather Service on Thursday at 1:10 p.m. for strong thunderstorms until 2:15 p.m. for Geneva and Houston counties.

Much like yesterday, we'll be hot today in the 90s with only a slight chance of rain. It's muggy this morning, then will turn partly cloudy. Prepare for increase in rain chances for tomorrow.

We’ll need to be ready for Houston to become seasonably hotter by midweek, with highs in the middle to upper 90s, the National Weather Service said.

Regardless of how the system develops, the National Weather Service said in a Wednesday morning update that "a surge of tropical moisture could enhance the risk of showers and thunderstorms" in Southeast Texas by the end of the week.
