FOX 26 Houston Weather Forecast
Heading into the long Labor Day weekend, our rainy and stormy pattern will continue. It does not look like any of the days will be complete washouts, but there will be a daily round or two of scattered heavy storms. There is a chance for isolated areas of street flooding, especially near the coast and east of Houston. The unsettled weather pattern is expected to last until at least the middle of next week. It's the first big Friday of the high school football season and you should be on the lookout for hit and miss showers and storms with pleasant temperatures. In the tropics, activity is picking up a bit with a tropical wave getting a little stronger heading toward the Caribbean and has about a 50% chance of becoming a tropical depression or storms and looks like a concern for the Yucatan in a week or so.

STORM ALERT DAY | Fox 26 Houston Weather Forecast
Today is a Fox 26 Storm Alert Day. As a precaution, we want everyone to be aware of the potential for heavy rain, especially for coastal counties today with more than 2-3" possible for Galveston, Brazoria and parts of Harris and Fort Bend Counties. Nothing is guaranteed, but chances are high enough that we need to stay weather aware today. NOAA has our area classified with a level 1-2 threat for "excessive rain" today, so isolated street flooding. In the extended forecast, we should stay humid and unsettled each day through the Labor Day weekend and possibly even beyond into next week. The tropics remain unusually quiet for now, but should get busy in September.
