Good morning. Houston will see a few days with barely lowered rain possibilities, earlier than the potential returns on Friday and persists by Labor Day weekend. We nonetheless don’t see any indicators for something past avenue flooding, however the vacation weekend will likely be marred by on-and-off showers and thunderstorms, a few of which will likely be at-times heavy. In case you have out of doors plans I hope they embrace quick access to shelter from such storms.
Wednesday
Circumstances within the ambiance are a bit much less favorable for heavy rainfall at the moment, however there’s nonetheless loads of moisture to work with. Subsequently whereas showers and thunderstorms will likely be considerably scattered at the moment, they’re nonetheless going to develop, and transfer usually from southeast to northwest. Areas west of Interstate 45 are barely extra favored for rain at the moment. With partly sunny skies I believe we’ll see highs this afternoon push up into the low-90s, or probably mid-90s for areas properly inland. Winds will likely be mild, from variable instructions, however principally out of the southeast.
Thursday
This will likely be one other day missing preferrred situations for heavy rainfall, however we’re nonetheless anticipating about 50 % of the realm to see some type of precipitation, together with a number of stronger thunderstorms. In any other case, count on partly to probably principally sunny skies, with highs within the low- to mid-90s.
Friday
Rain possibilities improve a bit throughout the day on Friday, and a rise in cloud cowl ought to restrict temperatures to the low-90s.
Labor Day Weekend
A weak entrance will nudge down into the realm from the northeast on Friday night time, and as this entrance roughly stalls over the Houston area we’ll see a interval of unsettled climate this weekend. (The entrance goes to do nothing for our sticky humidity or heat nights, alas). Areas north of Interstate 10 will in all probability be little drier than the coast, however many of the metro area ought to see 2 to 4 inches of rainfall by Monday with on-and-off showers. Some areas will, in fact, decide up greater quantities. The elevated cloud cowl and rain-cooled air ought to assist to restrict excessive temperatures to the 80s for many of the area.
Subsequent week
Truthfully, this unsettled sample doesn’t look to alter an entire lot subsequent week. We should always proceed to see not less than partly cloudy skies, wholesome rain possibilities, and highs within the higher 80s as we get a bit of deeper into September.
Tropics
There stay no threats to the Gulf of Mexico for not less than the following week or so, if not longer. This has been a remarkably quiet hurricane season. In actual fact, if there isn’t a tropical cyclone within the Atlantic basin at the moment, this could be the primary August with out a named storm since 1997. That’s not a criticism.
