HOUSTON, Texas (KTRK) — Sunday evening’s thunderstorms are taking advantage of this warm, humid pattern that has settled in. And while those conditions will last all week long, the potential for more heavy thunderstorms is much lower.
A Flood Watch is in effect through early Monday morning for portions of Harris, Waller, Montgomery, Washington, Grimes, Madison, Colorado, Brazos and Austin counties. Slow-moving thunderstorms could produce rainfall rates of 1 to 3 inches an hour and lead to street and area flooding. Isolated spots of flash flooding is also possible with the heaviest storms that develop tonight. Be mindful of flood prone areas in your neighborhood, feeder roads and underpasses as those could take on standing water with the torrential rain.
We’ll keep the chance for scattered storms in the forecast through about Midnight tonight with rain primary staying north of I-10. Gradually these showers and storms will fizzle out tonight thanks to rain we saw earlier in the evening.
What should we expect for Monday then after Sunday’s storms?
Early Monday morning there could still be some waterlogged parts of Southeast Texas from the previous day’s rain. Still be cautious when out on the roads for the morning commute, especially if your area was in some kind of flood alert the day before. Generally, Monday will be drier than what we saw on Sunday. A few spotty showers are possible in the morning with the chance for a few isolated showers developing in the afternoon. Temperatures Monday morning will start in the upper 60s or low 70s and climb into the low 80s in the afternoon.
What do rain chances look like this week?
Southeast Texas will be stuck in a warm, humid pattern all week long as storm systems pass to our north throughout the week. This means we’ll see some humid mornings warm afternoons and the chance for a few showers and possibly a storm or two every day. It’s not until next weekend when we’re monitoring a pattern change that could bring a cold front to Houston. This front could bring both widespread showers and storms as it passes through and cooler temperatures to start next week.
