Current Forecast:
Your weather team has been tracking a front sweeping through the Houston areas, bringing downpours and gusty winds with rainfall totals of 2″ in some areas.
With rainfall totals hitting the 2″ in some areas and climbing, we’ll track for the heightened risk of widespread street flooding across the Houston area throughout the night. We’re already getting reports of street flooding on S. Rice and Richmond. Two inches of rain can create dangerous conditions that can sweep cars off the road.

Thursday’s Forecast:
We’ll continue to track for the chance for coastal thunderstorms in the morning hours pushing through some spotty showers in the afternoon from the west near Columbus to the coast.
Nicer weather coming!
Whenever a strong front pushes through, the temperature drops quickly, but this is a weaker front, the dry air is moving in slowly. Meaning it’s going to take a couple of days to feel the cooler air. So, what does this mean now that the front has passed? It might not be chilly enough to dig out your Ugg boots, but that doesn’t mean you can’t sip your PSL while walking the kids to school or hitting the park in the mornings over the next couple of days.
Tropical outlook:
Powerful Hurricane Gabrielle is headed out into the north Atlantic. The storm brought some likely storm damage to the island of Bermuda but that will be the only interaction with land as it heads back out into the north Atlantic.
Here’s what we are watching and tracking in the tropics:
Tropical Storm Humberto is about 550 miles east-northeast of the Northen Leeward islands with 40 mph.
We’re also watching showers and thunderstorms organize with a tropical wave near Puerto Rico. A tropical depression is likely to form near the Bahamas late this week. We’ll keep an eye on areas like Puerto Rico, Dominican Republic, Turks and Calicos Islands as well.
