Saturday night leading into Sunday morning weather forecast
video

After another round of heavy downpours, the focus shifts to whether or not we'll see more rain for the rest of the Labor Day weekend. The forecast is not an easy one, but odds are we will see less areal coverage of rain for Sunday and Labor Day, with the chance for locally heavy rain still with us, especially south of Houston. Next week, we expect a daily round of scattered showers and storms with seasonably warm and humid air in between. In the tropics, Tropical Storms Danielle and Earl will stay far away from Texas, but Earl may bring some brief rain and wind to the Virgin Islands and Puerto Rico.

Saturday Morning Forecast with Meteorologist Lena Maria

While the bulk of the heavy downpours were concentrated mostly north yesterday, today our entire area has equal odds at rounds of heavy rain. As a slow moving stationary boundary continues to progress toward the coast, Sunday's heavy rain potential looks to follow suit. It won't be raining all the time, but it may come down relentlessly when it does so plan for some minor street flooding throughout the weekend. Eventually, all the available moisture will get used up and rain will wane back to daily afternoon showers and storms through much of next week.

Saturday morning weather forecast

The combination of abundant Gulf moisture, a weak stationary front and a series of disturbances in the jet stream will combine to give us a rainy weather pattern for Labor Day weekend. Some heavy rain will be possible each day, but rain will likely come through in waves with cloudy and humid conditions in between. A widespread 2-3" should blanket the area through the 3 day weekend while isolated areas could easily get several inches in a day, it's just too random to point out any specific area, so make sure to check the FOX 26 weather app.

Partly cloudy & humid start Friday, with scattered PM storm

Today will be pretty similar to yesterday, with isolated afternoon storms. Conditions look to deteriorate over the long holiday weekend, with a higher probability of downpours on Saturday and Sunday. Definitely be sure to have a plan B for local outdoor plans, and factor in extra time for possible travel delays if headed out of town. Our cooler, rainy pattern doesn't look to let up anytime soon. And, though the Tropics are more active as we approach the peak of the season no system is of threat to the Continental U.S. at this time.

Friday morning weather forecast
video

Friday should see warm temperatures and isolated downpours around Houston, very similar to what things looked like on Thursday. The holiday weekend brings the changes with increased chances for rain. Some of those downpours could be heavy and slow moving causing some street flooding. If you have outdoor plans for the holiday on Monday, make sure you have a rain option. There will definitely be scattered showers around Southeast Texas.

Heavy rain possible over Labor Day weekend

The work week ends on a pretty typical note: partly cloudy, humid with daily afternoon scattered showers or storms. But get ready for another bumpy ride over the long holiday weekend, where rounds of heavy rain will be possible. Tropical Storm Danielle has formed in the north Atlantic Ocean and will not impact the United States in any way, but it's our first named system since Colin over July 4th weekend, 59 days ago.

Mostly cloudy and muggy Thursday with isolated afternoon storms

August brought quite the change of pace marking the 10th wettest on record (as measured at Bush Airport) and breaking the trend of excessive heat. September will begin with more of the same - very warm, humid air with pop up afternoon storms. Friday looks similar, but the combination of a stationary front and deep tropical moisture should lead to hefty rain for all three days of the Labor Day weekend. Finally, after the first August since 1997 without a named tropical system, this morning Tropical Depression #5 formed in the north Atlantic Ocean and is no threat to the United States.

Thursday morning weather forecast

Houston should see less coverage of afternoon storms to end the work week. There will be isolated downpours around southeast Texas but most will be short lived. The holiday weekend will bring higher rain chances so plan accordingly if you have outdoor plans. The rainy pattern should continue into next week.

Wednesday afternoon weather forecast with Chief Meteorologist Mike Iscovitz

Today is setting up to be a bit different than yesterday with much hotter conditions and storms holding off until the afternoon. We'll keep a good chance for scattered storms around for Thursday and Friday as well. A plume of tropical moisture is expected this weekend, so heavy rain does look likely with a generally unsettled pattern for next week. In the tropics, if the National Hurricane Center does not name any storms today (and it's not likely), this would be the first year since 1997 with no named storms.

Wednesday morning weather forecast

The rainy pattern continues for Southeast Texas. Expect a few heavy downpours to cause some short term problems in some isolated spots. Your plans for the holiday weekend should include some possible rain. It is not a complete washout but there will definitely be some showers around Houston at times.

Mostly cloudy and humid Tuesday with more heavy storms possible

Our rainy pattern is likely to continue for the next week. Watch for a mix of mostly cloudy and muggy conditions with rounds of downpours that could drop a quick 2" of rain or more. A couple of good effects of all this rain are that the drought is coming to an end in many locations and our temperatures for the month of August were exactly normal as opposed to three straight months with record warmth.

Tuesday morning weather forecast

An active weather pattern continues with rounds of rain and storms through the rest of the week. Some of the rain will be heavy at times and localized flooding will be possible. The silver linings to the rainy forecast are drought relief and below average temperatures. Highs will hover near 90 the next several days.

More rounds of heavy rain expected Tuesday

Several inches of rain accompanied by gusty winds have already occurred across much of our area today, with activity expected to wind down by early evening. Rounds of heavy rain return tomorrow, and potentially into Wednesday as an area of disturbed weather continues to funnel a deep plume of Gulf moisture our way. Allow for plenty of extra time to navigate around possible flooding on roads through Wednesday. By the end of the week, a front looks to approach and stall keeping us unsettled for the long holiday weekend. On a positive note: although the tropics are becoming more active, everything is staying away from us for now.

Highs upper 80s with periods of heavy rain expected today

Periods of heavy rain are likely through midweek, so allow for plenty of extra time to navigate the roadways. Rain chances look to taper toward the end of the week, as a front approaches and stalls. That looks to drive rain chances back up over the long holiday weekend. Hopefully you're enjoying the seasonably cool temperatures as we climb our way out of the drought! Lots to watch in the Atlantic Basin as we approach the peak of Hurricane Season, though nothing is cause for local concern at this time.
