HOUSTON – Before the showers take over this week, Monday is looking mostly dry and humid. There is a small chance of isolated showers in the afternoon.
Steamy breezes today
Southeast winds will gust above 25 mph today with highs pushing the upper 80s. Humidity stays very high through the day, keeping conditions feeling almost summer-like across Southeast Texas.
FOX 26 Storm Alert late tomorrow
Texas is entering several days of stormy weather and the first line of storms is expected late Tuesday and overnight into early Wednesday.
Storm chances increase Tuesday evening and before more widespread activity develops Tuesday night. All of our models show a line of storms moving in quickly from the north Tuesday night into Wednesday morning and there is a slight chance for a severe storm as well.
Threats include heavy rain, lightning, high winds and hail. Storms should move in from the north, so we’ll be watching the radar for a line of storms moving quickly toward Huntsville and College Station, then Houston, finally Galveston.
Timing is not certain, but will most likely occur between around 6pm through midnight for the storm’s arrival.
Slight chance for flooding
Not only will heavy rain be possible from Tuesday overnight into Wednesday, but with a daily chance for storms through this weekend, we’ll have several opportunities for rain to pile up, so stay weather aware.
Too early to pinpoint specific flooding spots
Although many models have been highlighting our coastal tier of counties for the highest rain totals, that could change, and isolated spots anywhere across Southeast Texas could receive 2-4″ of rain initially on Wednesday, then more later in the week.
We will closely watch any threat for flooding all the way through Friday and possibly into the weekend.
Waves of storms could bring localized flooding, gusty winds, and isolated severe weather from Wednesday through Friday and possibly continue into the weekend. Rainfall totals will likely add up above 4-6″ in total for the week.
Stay tuned to FOX Local for frequent updates through the week.
