Houston weather: Aug 9 evening forecast
Students heading back to school on Monday will likely need an umbrella for when they head back home.
HOUSTON - If your kid is heading back to school on Monday, you should probably have them bring an umbrella or raincoat for when they head home.
Rain chances stick around
Deep Gulf moisture keeps scattered showers and thunderstorms in the forecast into Monday.
Rain will be hit-or-miss, with warm and humid conditions in between the storms. A few thunderstorms could produce locally heavy rain over a short period of time.
Brief street flooding, frequent lightning and gusty winds will be possible underneath the stronger storms. Always be ready to get inside quickly if lightning develops in your area.
Drier middle of next week
Daily highs reach the mid 90s, with heat index values above 100 away from scattered storms.
A hotter and drier pattern could return by the middle of next week as rain chances begin to decrease and temps could ramp back into the upper 90s.
A few tropical waves, development unlikely
Tropical storms and hurricanes could develop over the next week, but chances are low.
Tropical waves are common during this time of the hurricane season, but will likely not survive due to unfavorable conditions like dry air and wind shear.
There are currently two areas for possible development by the National Hurricane Center. One with a low chance for development and another with a medium chance during the end of the upcoming week.
Continue to stay alert as hurricane season runs through the end of November.
