Houston will see increased flood threats starting tomorrow as waves of heavy rain roll in from the coast. Expect ongoing rain through Thursday, with the heaviest precipitation likely along the coastal cities.
A low-pressure system in the Gulf is driving this weather, and if it moves north, we could experience even higher rainfall amounts. Additionally, there’s a chance of tropical development, so keep an eye on updates as the system progresses.
However, a significant change is on the horizon. This weekend, we’ll welcome our first cool front of the season. Starting early Saturday, a cold front will sweep through Southeast Texas.
While daytime temperatures will remain in the upper 80s, mornings will be notably cooler, dropping into the 60s with lower humidity.
A cool front arriving Saturday will bring lower humidity and refreshing fall-like temperatures.Dew points will decrease, bringing a refreshing shift from the usual stickiness to a more comfortable atmosphere.
Enjoy the crispness of Sunday morning, as temperatures are expected to be about 10 degrees cooler than the seasonal average.
This cool front will bring relief from the rain, with drier conditions settling in for Sunday and Monday. Morning temperatures will feel significantly cooler than usual, making it a perfect time to embrace the early fall weather.
By next week, humidity levels will rise again, so make the most of the pleasant conditions while they last.
Looking ahead, the long-range forecast indicates that Houston will experience below-average temperatures from September 9th through the 13th. This early September cool spell will be a welcome change, especially as we gear up for the Texans’ return to NRG Stadium.
On the tropical front, the National Hurricane Center is keeping an eye on three potential systems in the Atlantic, each with a 20%-30% chance of developing into Tropical Storm Francine.
One system in the Bay of Campeche might move north by the end of next week, so stay tuned for further updates.
