HOUSTON, Texas (KTRK) — We trade the steamy weekend for a stormier weather pattern this week that will bring a daily rain chance to southeast Texas through the weekend.
We saw widespread rain move through this morning which caused some issues for our morning commute. The rest of the day will be warm and partly cloudy with highs reaching into the low to mid 90s. If we can destabilize, we could see a few scattered showers and storms popping in the afternoon to early evening.
More rain will be on the way for the week with our best chances of rain being on Wednesday and Thursday.
What’s the outlook for the rain this week?
By Monday, a cold front will begin to move into the northern part of the state and will eventually continue to slide closer to us in southeast Texas. This front will stall midweek, allowing for showers and storms to develop. Because of this, we have a daily rain chance in the forecast beginning Tuesday and continuing through Friday of next week. Currently, the best chance for rain and potentially heavy thunderstorms will be on Wednesday and Thursday. Area flooding could be a possibility as the week goes on, depending on where the heavy rain falls and how much.
Any chance for severe weather this week?
We do have a chance for a strong to severe storm almost every day this week, but we are not anticipating widespread severe weather at this time.
What’s happening in the tropics?
At this time, the Atlantic basin is filled with a Saharan dust cloud, limiting tropical development. There is plenty of activity in the eastern Pacific, though, with two named storms off the western coast of Mexico.
