The dry weather we have had this week is about to go away, in a big way.
On Space City Weather, Eric Berger writes, “Deep tropical moisture will begin to pool over Texas, especially Sunday and Monday. As these moisture levels increase, so too should the coverage of showers. We don’t expect much of anything organized Sunday, but there will probably be somewhat greater coverage of downpours across the area. For those attending Germany vs. Curaçao or taking part in any of the festivities around town, just have an umbrella handy. Highs will be near 90 degrees.”
As for the beginning of the week, Berger says it will be wet; very wet.
“The combination of tropical moisture off the Gulf, as well as an approaching “cool” front is likely going to lead to an outbreak of numerous downpours and thunderstorms across Texas, including in the Houston area. Our region has already been placed under a slight risk (level 2/4) for excessive rainfall and flooding risk for Monday. Most areas should pick up a solid 1 to 2 inches of rain from this. We do expect there to be pockets of higher totals right now, above and beyond 3 to 4 inches, but it’s tough to say exactly where those are most likely.
Here is the forecast from Jeff Eno of The Weather Channel:
Sunday: Mostly sunny. Afternoon showers become likely…thunder possible. 60% chance. High low 90s
Monday: Showers likely. Thunder possible. High upper 80s…showers MON night. May hear thunder
Tuesday: Showers with thunder possible. High near 85
