HOUSTON, Texas (KTRK) — Even though temps were on the hot side Monday, it didn’t feel too bad because the humidity was somewhat low. We won’t be as lucky Tuesday with higher humidity on the way. That moisture increase will give us chances for showers which will stick with us the rest of the week.
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 Tuesday through Saturday of this week sit at about 30 to 40 percent each day to account for showers or storms that develop with onshore flow from the Gulf. And as all of this is happening, temperature wise Southeast Texas will stay pretty seasonal with afternoon highs in the low-mid 90s.
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?
