The Houston area is under a Flood Watch until Wednesday morning.
This is all thanks to the moisture if the Gulf of America that we have been watching for the better part of the last week. Eric Berger at Space City Weather writes that, ” Houston will have its best chances for heavy rainfall from Monday evening through Tuesday. Wednesday and Thursday may see slightly reduced coverage but there is the possibility of increasing chances for heavy rainfall again in the Friday time frame.”
And as for the Gulf, there is something to potentially keep an eye on.
According to the National Hurricane Center, A trough of low pressure located over northeastern Mexico continues to produce disorganized shower and thunderstorm activity. Development is not expected during the next day or so while the trough remains inland and drifts generally northward over northeastern Mexico and southern Texas. The system is then forecast to move northeastward and could re-emerge over the northwestern Gulf of America late Tuesday or Wednesday, where environmental conditions may support some development around midweek. Regardless of tropical cyclone formation, heavy rainfall and flash flooding are possible across portions of eastern and southern Texas and Louisiana this week.
Keep it tuned to KTRH all week as the forecast develops.
