Sunday’s Forecast:

We have a chance for spotty showers and isolated thunderstorms. It’s a 30-40% chance for rainfall which means if rain does move in just wait for it to pass.

Coastal showers and storms possible, spotty inland.
Scattered showers and storms could bring brief downpours.

If you’re hosting a Labor Day Weekend pool party or BBQ, there’s 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!

Labor Day rain chances increase

Tracking The Tropics:

The National Hurricane Center is now monitoring the low-pressure system in the northwestern Gulf of Mexico for tropical development, but don’t sound the alarm. This is the same low we have been tracking all week that has been bringing our showers and storms.

The low will continue to meander off the coast as it drifts towards Louisiana. If it stays over the warm Gulf waters, it has a chance for development, but it is a low chance. A 10% chance in the next two days and only a 20% in the next seven days.

There is a low chance for development over the next week in the Western Gulf of Mexico. (Copyright 2024 by KPRC Click2Houston - All rights reserved.)

There’s also a few waves out in the Atlantic. The chance is 40% during the next seven days.

There is a tropical wave that has a 40% chance to develop into a system over the next 7 days.

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.

Drying out next weekend

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.)
