More Storms Thursday and This Weekend, High Pressure Returns Next Week | June 3, 2026

East Texas will experience a break from the above normal heat the rest of the week, with highs staying near to below normal through the weekend. Scattered showers and storms are expected once again on Thursday. The chances for rain continue into the weekend, with the highest chance for showers and storms being Saturday. The pattern shifts next week when high pressure builds overhead. This system will suppress rain chances while pushing temperatures back into the mid 90s - above our normal for this time of year.   Today in history... June 3, 1965, astronaut Edward H. White made history during the Gemini 4 spaceflight by becoming the first American to walk in space.   This week's weather word is "zephyr" - which is a soft, gentle breeze.   Finally, satellites observed clouds forming over the Houston area Tuesday afternoon as roadways induced convection outlining local infrastructure.
