Tonight’s Forecast:

This evening there is a slight chance for showers, but most of us will stay dry. Temperatures will be in the 80s for most of the evening hours with overnight lows dropping to the mid-70s.

Saturday’s Forecast:

We still have an active sea breeze that will create afternoon thunderstorms in parts of southeast Texas. This is a hit and miss pattern but if you get hit these cells can bring a heavy amount of rain in a short amount of time. Highs will be in the lower 90s.

The weather prediction center has placed our region in a low chance for flooding Saturday. Give yourself extra time for driving.

Sunday’s Forecast:

Temperatures climb to the lower 90s with a 40% chance of afternoon thunderstorms. You may have to make minor adjustments to your weekend plans for some disruptive storms that form.

By the end of the weekend highest rain totals could reach up to 3″. This could cause minor flooding.

10-day forecast:

We saw 7 days in a row with measurable rainfall, which was the first time since February! That streak ended yesterday, but we still have a chance of rain the next 10-days.

Tracking the tropics:

The National Hurricane Center is watching two tropical waves that have a low chance for development over the next five days. One is headed toward the Caribbean and then the Gulf of Mexico.

Below is a comparison for Monday, Labor Day, September 5th. The American model has a hurricane in the Gulf! The European model has this as an open wave in Mexico. The American model is notorious for creating what are called “model-canes.” We need this system to get a better circulation before we can say for sure what we can expect on Labor Day. Make sure you have our Hurricane Tracker App for updates on this system and others that will form in the tropics.
