Labor Day weekend rain | Fox 26 Houston Weather Forecast

Get ready for more rain today and even more tomorrow through the Labor Day weekend. We are locked into a pattern with a deep layer of tropical moisture and a plume of humid air streaming in from the Gulf of Mexico. Expect a daily round of downpours with the heavier storms dropping 2" of rain or more and other areas seeing only short-lived showers. Overall rain accumulations through the end of the week could hit the 5-10" range, especially for coastal counties. The tropics remain surprisingly quiet with only weak tropical waves a disturbances that currently have about a 20% chance of developing further over the next 7 days. We still expect a substantial increase in September.
