HOUSTON, Texas (KTRK) — These warm and humid conditions continue Mother’s Day with the chance for more widespread storms late Sunday night into early Monday morning.
Mother’s Day will look and feel pretty similar to Saturday with some morning cloudiness and steam giving way to a sunny and hot afternoon with temperatures climbing into the upper 80s. There’s a 20%-30% chance you run into a pop-up shower or storm once again Sunday afternoon and early evening. Then it’s after sunset when stronger storms could roll in from the northwest ahead of a cold front that arrives Monday, those storms likely arrive midnight or later tonight.
What’s the latest on Sunday night’s storm threat?
Rain chances will climb to 70% Sunday night when the cool front blows in. Some of those storms could be severe with strong winds, small hail and heavy rainfall. These storms could be loud too with lots of thunder and lightning. Generally we’re expecting these storms from about 10 pm Sunday to 4 am Monday, so the rain should clear by the time you’re heading out for the day Monday.
What’s the latest on drought conditions with all this rain?
We continue to see improvements! In fact, most of Houston and Harris County are now drought-free, and the intensity has lessened all across Southeast Texas. With more rain the forecast these next few days, we should see continued reductions in drought conditions across the region.
Is anymore rain expected next week?
Next week starts off fairly dry once the front clears early Monday morning. Rain chances will stay very low throughout the week with higher moisture levels not returning until next weekend.
