Friday’s Forecast

There is a chance for showers again on Friday. The highest likelihood is along the coast but there’s a 40% inland. If you’re kicking off Labor Day Weekend with a pool party no need to cancel, but I would pay attention to the radar and head indoors for 30 minutes if you hear thunder.

Some areas along the coast could see heavy rain which could lead to flash flooding. It is on the low side, but it is still there!

10-day Forecast:

We have daily chances for showers and storms through the 10-day forecast. This is not a total washout, but instead on-and-off showers and storms. This means you should not cancel any outdoor Labor Day Weekend plans but do be mindful that there could be a few storms moving through.

10 Day Forecast (Copyright 2024 by KPRC Click2Houston - All rights reserved.)

If you’re seeking out cooler weather, we do expect a gradual cooling in the month of September. Our average high drops to 88° by the end of the month. Our average low drops to 67° - thank goodness!

The hottest we've ever been in September was 109° and the coolest was 45°! That's a 64° range! (Copyright 2024 by KPRC Click2Houston - All rights reserved.)

Even though we expect our temperatures to cool seasonally, the Climate Prediction Center expects most of the United States to be above average through the month. As a reminder our latest 100° day was September 27th after Hurricane Rita.

Nearly the entire United States is expected to be above normal during the month of September. (Copyright 2024 by KPRC Click2Houston - All rights reserved.)
