FOX 26 Houston Weather Forecast: The heat is back!
video

HEAT ADVISORY has been issued for most of SE Texas from Noon until 8pm Tuesday. It does not include coastal areas but includes the Houston metro area. Heat index values higher than 108 are likely. So drink lots of water, take frequent breaks and try not to work too hard in the heat during the hottest part of the day. Heat will remain intense but rain will be isolated the next few days. There's a low chance that a tropical wave currently near the Windward Islands could slowly develop by Friday or Saturday near the Yucatan Peninsula. This could enhance our rain chances slightly by this weekend so stay tuned. Otherwise, the heat will be the main issue. Also, swim with caution at area beaches with a risk for rip currents that continues.

Hot, humid, isolated storms...hot, humid, isolated storms...Hot, humid, isolated storms...That's what we're looking for all week. Over the weekend, a tropical disturbance moved into the same area of the the Mexican Gulf Coast that was just hit by T.S. Alberto last week. A tropical wave in the Caribbean could approach the Yucatan Peninsula by this weekend, so we'll watch that, but overall it's just going to be a steamy week here.

Watch for scattered fast-moving showers and a few storms today with otherwise warm and humid conditions. For the weekend, it?s going to be a muggy one with highs in the mid 90s. Rain chances will be pretty low in Saturday with a few showers possible on Sunday. Get ready for steamy air next week - muggy air from the Gulf will move in through at least Wednesday along with scattered showers. There may be another brief tropical system in the Gulf in nearly the same area as Alberto, but its impacts here are not expected to be significant.

Welcome to summer! Summer officially began at 3:50 pm. Our first Tropical Storm of the season, Alberto made landfall over Mexico this morning but is no longer a tropical system. Look for coastal flooding to gradually subside and wind speeds to gradually decrease over the next day or so. Spotty downpours will be possible this evening and again Friday PM with a warm and humid airmass still in place. But if you're looking for pool time, Saturday is your day with only a 10% rain chance. There's a medium chance another tropical system might develop in the SW Gulf next week. It should stay to our south but may enhance our rain chances. Right now it looks like things won't get too crazy. But check FOX Local and our FOX 26 weather app for more updates!

Tropical Storm Alberto's landfall was 475 miles away from here, but we're still feeling the effects. A coastal flood warning is in effect until 7pm and it will be very windy along the beaches again. Also, watch for scattered storms this afternoon with a few heavy ones. After a few storms again tomorrow, the weekend looks hot and humid. Also, by the way, the summer solstice occurs at 3:50pm today, so summer officially begins late today.

Alberto, our first tropical storm of the 2024 Atlantic hurricane season, continues to bring waves of heavy rain, gusty winds, and coastal flooding to southeast Texas. The Flood Watch continues south of Houston until 1 a.m. Thursday. Coastal Flood Warning, Wind Advisory & high rip currents risk will stick around through early Thursday also. Storm surge around 2-4' can be expected around high tide which could mean more flooded roads along the coast. T.S. Alberto will make landfall by early Thursday in eastern Mexico taking much of the heavy rain and strong winds west by Thursday and Friday. Lower rain chances stick around for the weekend. We'll have to monitor the SW Gulf of Mexico again next week as another tropical system could form that would enhance our rain chances.

Even though the center of circulation of this potential tropical storm is hundreds of miles to our south and won?t make landfall in Texas, the impacts on our area definitely will be felt along the coastline. A tropical storm warning is in effect for Brazoria and Matagorda counties through the day today as well as areas all the way down to the Rio Grande Valley. in addition, coastal flood warning continues through the day today and tide levels have been rising, causing flooding in parts of Galveston and coastal areas of Brazoria county as well as even some bias in Houston, which could get a little higher through the day. Rainfall is primarily a concern south of Houston, where flood watch continues through the day, but expect a wet morning and mid day all around the greater Houston area, once we get past expect to return to warm conditions with some scattered storms.

Wet and windy weather will stick around tonight and Wednesday with impacts from potential tropical cyclone 1 moving in. Potential Tropical Cyclone One is still churning in the SW Gulf of Mexico with 40 mph winds moving north at 6 mph.

Tropical Storm warnings remain in place for much of the Texas Gulf Coast with wind gusts of 40-45 mph possible along with heavy rain. There's also a coastal flood warning and a high rip currents risk along the coast. Wind Advisory remains in effect until Thursday morning. So look for rough seas and 2-4' storm surge possible in coastal spots with some flooded roads possible.

So, what's the latest? What exactly should we expect? Well, a system in the far southern Gulf that has the name "Potential Tropical Cyclone #1" will likely become Alberto later today and will bring heavy rain tonight and tomorrow to our area, especially south of I-10. Also, through the day today and tomorrow, gusty winds along the coast will bring coastal flooding to low-lying areas along our beaches and even low roads right on Galveston Bay. A Flood Watch goes into effect at 7 p.m. through the day tomorrow. To stay safe, don't swim in the Gulf and be very careful driving tomorrow morning.

Flood Watch has been issued for Houston and areas near and south of I-10 from 7 pm Tuesday through 1am Thursday. Some locations in the flood watch could pick up 5 to 10" of rain during this time with isolated higher totals. That means you need to watch out for areas that could quickly flood and turn around, don't drown! Trinity River near Liberty is expected to go from moderate to major flood stage later this week so watch for the flood threat increasing here also. Big plume of tropical moisture will surge north of Potential Tropical Cyclone 1 in the SW Gulf of Mexico. This system should slam into Eastern Mexico over the next few days but will bring us several rounds of heavy rain. Heaviest rain is expected Tuesday PM - Wednesday PM and both are FOX 26 Storm Alert Days. Beach conditions will also be rough where there's a coastal flood watch & higher risk for rip currents. Lower rain chances will linger through the weekend and early next week.
