Storm clouds loom over Houston as rain showers are predicted.
Houston is expected to experience daily afternoon downpours over the next two days, with temperatures reaching into the 90s. Although most rivers are stable, isolated flooding is a concern in Central Texas. Commuters should prepare for rain during their travels as storms approach. As the week progresses, rain coverage is expected to taper off, but more precipitation may return over the weekend. Stay alert for changing weather patterns and updates from local meteorologists.
Houston – Daily summer downpours are predicted in the greater Houston area today and tomorrow, with afternoon temperatures expected to reach the 90s. As the region experiences scattered rain showers, residents are urged to stay cautious, especially in low-lying areas prone to flooding.
The Weather Prediction Center has issued a risk of isolated flooding in Central Texas, with a quarter chance outlined for today. While there are currently no active Flood Watches in the Hill Country, scattered downpours are anticipated through this evening. This area has previously dealt with extreme flooding, so residents should remain vigilant.
Most rivers across the region have stabilized and are currently within their banks, close to pre-flood levels. However, heavy rainfall could potentially lead to rising water levels. Individual storms may bring 1-2 inches of rain daily, but widespread flooding is not anticipated. Residents are advised to be cautious of isolated street flooding and to steer clear of flooded areas.
As the week progresses, the coverage of rain is expected to decrease by Friday. With temperatures potentially hitting the upper 90s, the weather patterns will be shifting as the summer continues. Meteorological guidance suggests that daily rain patterns will persist, ultimately leading to a potentially wet weekend for Southeast Texas.
Following the recent impacts from Tropical Storm Chantal, which has since dissipated into a post-tropical cyclone and is moving into the Atlantic Ocean, there are currently no new threats present in the tropics for the Texas region. The storm marked the first U.S. landfall of the year, but its effects have now cleared, giving way to the anticipated daily rain.
Cumulative rainfall totals since last Monday reflect a heavier concentration of rain along and west of Interstate 35, while areas closer to Houston received generally less than an inch of rain. Forecasts indicate that additional rainfall of under an inch is likely across most locations through Wednesday.
Morning commuters in Houston should expect dry conditions initially, with isolated to scattered showers developing along the coast between 6 and 9 a.m. As the day progresses, clouds are anticipated to gather, signaling storms approaching from the south.
The highest storm activity is predicted to impact Interstate 10 between noon and 2 p.m. Rain chances will continue into the evening, which may affect evening commute times. Temperature forecasts project highs around 94 degrees on Wednesday, with more rain expected later in the day.
Looking ahead, daily rain patterns are expected to continue in the Houston area, with opportunities for significant storms decreasing by Thursday. Weather models indicate that the weekend may bring additional rainfall, with residents encouraged to stay updated on local forecasts.
The recent daily patterns of downpours have led to slightly lower high temperatures, ensuring that they remain closer to the seasonal averages for this time of year. Houston’s weather dynamics remain nuanced as meteorologists continue to monitor ongoing developments closely.
