HOUSTON, Texas (KTRK) — A tropical low made landfall during the Friday midday hours near Brownsville. It’ll move north through the state this weekend, bringing in moisture that’ll lead to more downpours in our area. Saturday will be the wettest of the two days, but the overall coverage should stay around 40%.
When should we expect rain on Saturday?
Coastal showers and storms are already ongoing for some. We expect the storms will impact Houston closer to the noon hour and again quiet down in the evening.
Will there be more storms on Sunday?
There is a 30% chance of additional afternoon downpours on Sunday, but the tropical moisture should be gone.
What else is happening in the tropics?
We have our first hurricane of the Atlantic hurricane season. Erin is now a Category 5 hurricane with 160 mph winds. Erin will continue to move west before taking a northerly turn later today and tomorrow. No direct landfall is expected from Erin in the U.S. or Caribbean.
