Sunday’s Forecast:

As early as 6am this morning, we were seeing the deep moisture content in our atmosphere helping to fire up storms along a trough of low pressure just off the coast. This area has been the focal point for storm activity all day with some storm activity moving into the coastal counties. We’re also starting to see scattered storms firing up in East Harris County and points East. Unlike Saturday, the boundary that is helping enhance the rain chances is staying mostly off the coast.

Flood threat Sunday:

The greatest threat for heavy rain that may need to flooding has shifted towards the coast on Today.

Sunday & Labor Day Monday:

It’s going to be an ACTIVE weather weekend. Rain chances are likely every day, with today’s highest activity along the coastal areas. Plan on extra travel time and respect the lightning threat - if you are at the pool or a lake and hear thunder head indoors. Rain chances last through Monday. Make sure you have backup plans because once the rain starts it may be a while before the rain ends.

Rain is expected on Labor Day. Houston’s wettest Labor Day Holiday was in 1923 when we received 2.45″ of rain.

10-day forecast:

The benefit of having a weather pattern like this is it keeps temperatures in check. Highs are expected to be in the 80s and lower 90s through next weekend.

Tracking the tropics:

Danielle is back to hurricane strength and is still churning in the Northern Atlantic, but it poses no threat to land. This is a fish storm. It won’t move much farther north than it is now. Tropical Storm Earl is also forecast to stay over the Atlantic. Make sure you have our Hurricane Tracker App for updates on these systems and others that will form in the tropics.
