HOUSTON, Texas (KTRK) — While Monday’s outlook is not as stormy as what Houston experienced Sunday, we still can’t rule out a few showers and storms for Labor Day.
While we can’t rule out a stray shower or storm Monday morning, especially along the coast, Monday should be a sunnier and warmer morning. High temperatures will climb into the low 90s with a drier start to the day. A few showers and storms are still expected to develop during the second half of the day, all of which could produce heavy rainfall, gusty winds and lightning.
Is any cooler air or a taste of fall on the way?
We’ll have to settle for dry air midweek behind a front arriving Tuesday. The dry air will push lows down toward 70 with highs just above 90. Another front coming down the Plains from Canada later this week will very much bring fall weather to the Midwest, Great Lakes and Northeast heading into next weekend. However, latest model guidance questions it’s potential impact here for the Gulf Coast. IF this front were to reach Houston, it wouldn’t influence temperatures much, just reinforce the drier, less humid conditions.
How about some drier weather at least?
Yes! After a stormy holiday weekend, Tuesday’s cold front should bring in drier weather to Southeast Texas for at least a few days. Rain chances slowly climb into next weekend and the following week as we monitor yet another front and possible tropical moisture that could swirl into the state.
What is happening in the tropics?
A tropical wave expected to move off the coast of Africa has a medium potential for development, and we are seeing signs activity will pick up across the Atlantic basin by mid-September. For a thorough update and in-depth video on what’s happening in the tropics, head to our tropical update page.
