Stay weather-aware this week as daily downpours may lead to street flooding. Houston is under a flood watch through Wednesday morning. Most areas will pick up 2 to 3 inches of rain, but there could be some locally higher totals near 8 inches!
Moisture headed to southeast Texas:
I’m monitoring a low-pressure system moving through Mexico; it is expected to funnel deep, rich tropical moisture into the area. The low-pressure system currently has a 30% chance of developing into a tropical system, but regardless of development, it will still draw in tropical moisture into southeast Texas at least through the end of the week.
Monday through Wednesday the tropical moisture will combine with a slow-moving cold front. That will help bring waves of rain through the middle of the week.
Monday’s Rain Timeline:
Monday morning, spotty showers and storms turn scattered mainly north of I-10 by 9 AM.
Monday afternoon through Monday night, waves of rain and storms move in from southwest to northeast.
10-day forecast:
Rain and storm chances continue through the late week. By the weekend, southeast Texas dries out, but the heat and humidity will return swiftly.
