HOUSTON, Texas (KTRK) — A cool front will continue to slowly move south through SE Texas this afternoon bringing a chance for showers and storms with it.
We’ve seen a few showers through the morning but the better chances for rain come in the afternoon to evening hours especially for Houston. There is a chance the line will be broken rather than solid, so some neighborhoods could get little if any rain. That is most likely south of I-10 where the atmosphere will be a little more stable. If you get the rain before the afternoon, your highs will likely peak in the upper 70s. Otherwise you can expect another warm afternoon in the mid 80s ahead of the front.
Showers could continue into the evening, but the highest rain chance will be in the afternoon hours.
How much rain could we get?
That depends on where you live. North of I-10 we expect 1″-2″ of rainfall to be common where it rains with isolated totals above 4″. South of I-10 the rain chance is lower and totals will generally fall under 1″.
Is severe weather or flash flooding possible?
Yes, but neither is likely. There’s only a 5% chance you’ll be near a severe thunderstorms or flash flood. If a storm does manage to turn severe, hail up to 1″ in diameter and wind gusts up to 60 mph will be the primary threats. Street flooding also cannot be ruled out, but no bayou flooding is expected.
How does the rest of the week look?
Shower could continue into Tuesday morning as the drier air tries to work its way down to the Gulf coast. The drier air should filter through most of Southeast Texas Tuesday night. This will lead to a comfortable day Wednesday with lower humidity and slightly lower temps. Humid and warmer conditions return by the end of the work week and will continue through next weekend.
