Scattered showers and storms should make a quick return to Southeast Texas for the start of the week. If you are doing a BBQ for Labor Day, please use extreme caution. The drought has left vegetation dangerously dry. The rain chances should also give Houston a break from the triple digits but more hot and dry days return for the end of the week.
