Houston weather: Showers returning this week

Monday's expected to give us another breather from the rain before it returns again midweek.

Gradual clearing this weekend

Models show lower rain chances again on Monday. With that comes plenty of sunshine, helping temperatures rise to the mid/upper 90s. Looking fairly typical for the last week of August in Houston. 

Can't completely drop the rain chances, but only isolated rain to start the work week.

More heavy downpours

Scattered showers and isolated thunderstorms will return on Tuesday and Wednesday. 

Severe weather and widespread flooding are not expected at this time, but some cells could drop a quick 1"+, so in poor drainage areas, we could see isolated street flooding. 

Rain chances will need to be in the forecast for next weekend as well.

Fernand forms in Atlantic

Tropical Storm Fernand continues to move north in the central Atlantic. It should follow a similar path to Erin - avoiding any U.S. landfall. It's likely to be a much smaller system. 

Behind that, another wave (Invest 99L) has a low chance for further development over the next week, as it moves quickly toward the Caribbean. 

We could see our next tropical depression in the next few days. Models are not showing it doing much just yet, but it's one to watch longer term.
