HOUSTON, Texas (KTRK) — It will feel more humid as you step outside on Wednesday. That added moisture will help spark scattered showers and a few storms during the morning commute. Numerous showers and storms will be possible during the afternoon as high temperatures climb in the low to mid 90s.
This wet and active weather pattern will continue through the week ahead of another cool front arriving Saturday.
What’s the latest on the rain and storm chances this week?
Rain chances climb this week thanks to the help of our sea breeze, increasing moisture, and more disturbances approaching the region from the north. Rain chances through Saturday of this week sit at about 40 to 60 percent. And as all of this is happening, temperatures in Southeast Texas will stay pretty seasonal with afternoon highs in the low-mid 90s. Friday’s temps may make it to the upper 90s before the rain starts.
How are things looking for Labor Day weekend?
A cool front will give us a chance for showers and storms Saturday, then we’ll start to dry out. Not only will our rain chances drop by Labor Day, our temps and humidity levels will drop too. How does virtually no rain, with low humidity and high temps around 90 sound for the holiday?
