Weather

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.

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.

The tropics are waking up! We're currently monitoring 4 different areas in the Atlantic Basin. While there is no cause for concern along the Texas Coast right now, it's a good time to get your hurricane kits updated & ready to go as we are quickly approaching the peak of hurricane season.

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.

When gathering supplies for hurricane season, you probably know you will need a battery-powered light. But we have come a long way from the traditional handheld flashlight. Meteorologist John Dawson shows us a powerful rechargeable headlamp.

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.

With the 5-year anniversary of Hurricane Harvey upon us, we are talking to the United States Coast Guard as they look back on that day, when they performed more than 11,000 rescues by air and by boats. FOX 26 Photojournalist Darlene Janik Faires spoke with two of the Coast Guard helicopter rescue swimmers, Petty Officer Tyler Gantt and Chief Graham McGinnis, about those rescues.

Get ready for a bumpy ride as we start the week. It looks like a plume of deep moisture will move into our area and bring a high chance for storms and the likelihood that some will be heavy, especially on Monday and Tuesday. 1-2? rainfall will be common, some slow-moving storms could drop 3? or more, so stay alert for localized street flooding. Otherwise, look for humid weather with below-average temperatures for the next several days.

Following very little tropical activity in the Atlantic for nearly 8 weeks, we are now monitoring multiple areas for possible development. Could one make it into the Gulf?

Localized heavy rainfall looks likely on Monday, so plan for extra time for both AM and PM commutes. We'll be staying fairy unsettled throughout the week, with daytime highs driven down by increased cloud cover and on and off rain. NHC is now monitoring 4 areas in the Atlantic Basin, most with low probabilities for development and no local concerns at this time. But, the peak of Hurricane Season is less than 2 weeks away so if you haven't prepared yet, now is certainly the time to do so.

Daily rain and storm chances continue into next week. Some of the rain could be heavy at times, and localized flooding will be possible. With the rain and added clouds around, temperatures will continue to stay seasonably cool. High temps will just climb into the upper 80s and low 90s.

Things are heating up! We are now monitoring three different areas in the Atlantic Basin. It's important to have your hurricane kit prepped & ready as we approach the peak of hurricane season.

Daily rounds of showers and storms, which may be heavy at times remain in the forecast over the course of the next week. In addition to unsettled weather, which will continue to bring improvements to the drought we will also be cashing in on seasonably cool temperatures. Keeping a close eye on the tropics as the peak of Hurricane Season approaches, but there are no local causes for concern in the immediate future.
