Right now it looks like the worst of the soaking rains will happen on Monday and Tuesday.

Confidence continues to increase for heavy rain around the Houston area on Monday and Tuesday. The exact location is not known but we also think the downpours could carry over into Wednesday as well. But look for a fantastic start to the weekend with mostly sunny skies and warm afternoon temperatures on Saturday.

Not much changes from the Sunday afternoon tropical update.

If Invest 91L develops into something more organized, it would head towards Florida and the eastern Gulf. Currently, Houston is not expecting any direct impacts with a warm, dry trend mid-end of the week.
