Houston weather: Rain chances leading up to Labor Day

Summer heat tomorrow and Friday

HOUSTON - Isolated showers and a few storms are possible Thursday, but fewer than we've seen earlier this week. 

Even with scattered downpours on Friday, highs are still expected to reach the mid to upper 90s both days.

Stormy Saturday, nicer by Monday

A "cold" front will approach and stall over our area on Saturday, so rain looks likely along with a few heavy downpours. 

Sunday could also bring scattered storms, but Labor Day Monday is looking nice for now with less rain and lower humidity. 

7-Day Forecast

Tracking the tropics

Tropical Storm Fernand is a little stronger but still disorganized in the Central Atlantic. It should lose tropical characteristics tonight or tomorrow as it heads into the colder water and harsh jet stream current in the north Atlantic.

Elsewhere, there are a few weak tropical waves including one in the Caribbean that are unlikely to organize over the next few days.

Remember to stay alert as the peak of hurricane season is approaching in a couple of weeks.
