HOUSTON, Texas (KTRK) — Widespread rain moved through much of SE Texas today. Rain coverage should diminish as we head further into the evening, but we could see more rain pop up tomorrow.
The best chance of rain will be south of I-10 closer to the coast as that is where the highest moisture will reside. We will need to watch out for isolated street flooding as the high levels of moisture could lead to high rainfall rates.
Will the rest of the holiday weekend be a washout?
No, after Saturday, it looks like the rain will be more scattered in nature and less widespread. If you have outdoor plans, it would be wise to draw up a “plan B” in case the weather rains them out though. It does look like our coastal areas will be favored on Sunday and again on Labor Day.
How much rain could we get?
Rainfall totals over the next 7 days will generally range from 1-4″ north of I-10 and 4-6″ south of I-10. There will be locally higher amounts, especially near the coast, and street flooding is possible.
What’s happening in the tropics?
Tropical Storm Danielle and Tropical Storm Earl are spinning in the Atlantic but they look to stay over water. For the very latest check out our daily tropical update.
