FOX 26 Houston Weather Forecast
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!

FOX 26 Houston Weather Forecast
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.
