Houston weather: Tropical weather to bring heavy rain to Houston
FOX 26 Meteorologist Allison Gargaro has the latest forecast on what to expect this week regarding the heavy rainfall being forecasted due to tropical activity in the Gulf of Mexico.
Tropical Update: Tropical moisture surge bringing heavy rain and dangerous seas to Houston
Stay safe, Houston! A major tropical moisture surge is on track to drench our city next week. The National Hurricane Center is eyeing a potential threat brewing in the southwestern Gulf of Mexico?there's a 50/50 chance we might see a low-pressure system or even a tropical depression forming. No matter what's coming our way, brace for a wet week ahead!
Houston Weather: Brief break from storms Saturday before heavy rain and flooding risk next week
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
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.
