Cold front increases Houston's rain chances later this week

Monday forecast:

Temperatures in Southeast Texas will drop into the 90s, but due to the heat and humidity it will “feel” 105 degrees in some places today.

There is a chance of localized rainfall on Monday; therefore, recovery efforts should not be interrupted by the weather. Showers and storms may move toward the coast and stay south of Interstate 10.

Track the rain:

A cold front will move through the Lone Star State later this week, increasing rain chances starting Thursday and continuing into Saturday. Even though this is a cold front, given the small but significant temperature difference – we will be down to the 80s, not the 90s.

Track the tropics:

There is no tropical activity in the Gulf, Caribbean Sea or Atlantic Ocean. The only area of ​​concern is a series of storms off the northern coast of Florida. The threat these storms pose to Debbie is now virtually nil.

Another factor keeping the tropics quiet is the huge clouds of Saharan dust, which help suppress the development of tropical waves at this time.

10-day forecast:

The weather will be mostly dry early in the week, but the chance of rain will increase along the cold front later in the week.
