Get ready for off-and-on heavy downpours beginning today and intensifying late Tuesday and Wednesday. Upwards of 5-10? of rain will be possible with lower amounts north of Houston. An area of low pressure in the southern Gulf of Mexico could become a tropical depression or even a tropical storm over the next couple of days, but whether or not it does, our forecast remains the same with a good chance for heavy rain. A flood watch is likely to be issued for our area heading into Tuesday and Wednesday.

Expect a tropical depression or tropical storm in the Gulf of Mexico this week. The rainfall totals for parts of the US Gulf Coast will be high no matter how the National Hurricane Centers classifies this system. Here is the latest look at where flash flooding can be expected.

Houston Weather: Brief break from storms Saturday before heavy rain and flooding risk next week
video

We are finally getting a break from the severe storms and heavy downpours. But it won't last for long! Look for one more hot and mainly dry day Saturday with high temperatures in the middle to upper 90s. Then tropical moisture will start to build in from the south. We are closely monitoring a disturbance in the southern Gulf of Mexico that now has a MEDIUM 50% chance to turn into our first tropical depression or storm of the season. It should stay to our south but moisture will increase, especially Sunday through next Thursday. Heavy downpours will become more likely which could cause some flooding issues. Temperatures will be a bit cooler next week with more clouds and rain. Check out our FOX 26 weather app and FOX Local to get the latest on weather where you live!

Watching tropical system Alberto: rainy week ahead for Houston
video

We are closely watching the southern Gulf of Mexico where a tropical depression or tropical storm could develop over the next 7 days. The name would be Alberto and this would be the first Tropical system of the season. The chance for this happening has increased to 50%. If the system develops, it would likely stay to the south of Houston. But a big plume of tropical moisture will still spill into our area. That will mean daily rain chances next week and an increased threat for heavy rain and flooding. Models are indicating 3-6" of rain near and south of I-10 with 1-3" north of I-10 Sunday through Thursday. The potential tropical cyclone in the eastern Pacific has fallen apart and the low off of the SE US should merge with a front and fall apart as it moves out into the Atlantic.

A few storms are possible on Father?s Day, but the real action arrives with a plume of tropical moisture for most, if not all, of next week. Right now the timing is uncertain, but plan on the potential for heavy rain at times beginning Monday and possibly increasing by Wednesday. A small tropical low is possible as well and is like to stay to our south. Stay in touch this weekend for updates.

Scattered showers and storms might bring locally heavy rain, 50-60 mph winds, and hail near 1" this evening and Wednesday evening. The best chance for any severe weather will remain just west of Houston. Rain chances go down as temperatures increase from Thursday to Saturday. Tropical moisture from a new disturbance in the eastern Gulf of Mexico will bring a big flood threat to south Florida in the next few days. This disturbance will not impact Southeast Texas. But another big plume of tropical moisture is forecast to surge into the Gulf early next week. There's a chance a weak Gulf low could develop. But whether we get a tropical system or not, our rain chances will likely be going up early next week.

Today and tomorrow should be very similar to Monday with typical June warmth and scattered late day and evening storms. A few storms could be in the heavy side. Highs will run in the low 90s. Late this week, we expect slightly hotter afternoons with fewer showers. Early next week, a plume of tropical moisture is expected to move in from the Caribbean and will likely bring heavy rain to parts of the Gulf Coast anywhere from Texas to Louisiana and probably parts of Florida. It?s too early to be specific with location, but just stay alert for updates over the next few days.

Summer season is right around the corner and we are really starting to feel the summer sizzle! Look for temperatures in the 90s this week with heat index values near 100. Spotty storms are possible, especially the next few days with lower rain chances Thursday - Saturday. A few storms could be strong to marginally severe late Tuesday mainly just west of Houston. Hail and brief strong wind gusts would be main threats. Tropics could get more active this weekend into early next week with a possible disturbance or gulf low developing. This could change but it looks like a plume of gulf moisture could be heading our way in about a week.

We are now in the second week of hurricane season and no tropical cyclone formation is expected over the next few days. However, long range models indicate a big plume of tropical moisture tracking north into the Gulf of Mexico later this week. There's also at least a low possibility of a disturbance or weak area of low pressure that could develop in the Bay of Campeche or Gulf of Mexico by this weekend. We are still several days out and this could change. But definitely be ready for an increased threat for rain in Houston by Sunday and Monday.
