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.
