HOUSTON, Texas (KTRK) — An upper-level low over west Texas and deep tropical moisture brought widespread rains the last two days. Both the moisture and the low are now moving away from southeast Texas, which will bring the rain chance down on Wednesday. A similar pattern is setting up again for the weekend, which will bring rain chances right back up as Labor Day approaches.
Temperatures will hover in the mid-70s Wednesday morning and there could even be some patches of fog that develop before sunrise. We’ll get more sunshine than in days past, which will push the temperature up toward 90 in the afternoon. While the moisture levels will be going down, there’s still enough for a few showers and thunderstorms to pop up along the sea breeze front. The coverage of rain will be far less than the last couple of days, but where it does rain a quick inch or two could fall.
How do rain chances look through the rest of the week?
Rain chances will remain low through Thursday, then start to climb when deep tropical moisture arrives late Friday. This will lead to numerous showers and thunderstorms for the holiday weekend, so be prepared to alter your outdoor plans if needed.
What’s happening in the tropics?
There are two areas of potential development that we are monitoring. For the very latest check out our daily tropical update.
