Monday’s Rainfall:

We saw some strong storms move through SE Texas! Intense conditions caused a ground stop for a while at IAH and Hobby and knocked out power to nearly 30 thousand customers in Harris County. These storms brought heavy rainfall. Some totals include 2.48″ in New Waverly, 2.32″ in Seabrook, 2.20″ in Hockley, 2.18″ in Pearland, 1.76″ in Huntsville and 1.52″ in the Med Center.

Tonight’s Forecast:

The storms will push off the coast, but we can still see some lingering showers. It’ll stay steamy in the low 80s for most of the evening. By Tomorrow morning temperatures will be in the mid-70s.

Tuesday’s Forecast:

Tuesday will start out muggy with temperatures in the mid-70s. We will warm up into the lower-to-mid 90s with afternoon streamer showers possible. For more on “Streamer showers” check out Frank’s blog. Our rain chances Tuesday will be much more isolated compared to what we saw Monday.

Tracking the Tropics:

Tropical Storm Philippe is expected stay in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean through Friday. There is another region in the Atlantic with a high chance for development over the next week. If it gets a name it would be “Rina.” The region we were monitoring in the Gulf now has a 0% chance of formation which means there is no threat to SE Texas. We’ll continue to watch this for you.
