As we enter the middle August, the tropics are also starting to heat up a bit. With bathwater temperatures in the Gulf and parts of Atlantic, conditions continue to grow favorable for development.
Every day we will see coastal showers to start, but by the afternoon commute you can see a few thunderstorms further inland. These showers will be brief but heavy dropping anywhere from half an inch to two inches.
Monday morning is easygoing for most, as showers will stay east of Houston. That will all change when the sun starts to go down, though, when our rain chances increase across Southeast Texas.

You know the song: “99 bottles of beer on the wall, 99 bottles of beer, Take one down, pass it around, 98 bottles of beer on the wall”.....well, we are now 99 days away from the start of the Atlantic hurricane season!

An Atlantic hurricane season with 14 named storms has ended, leaving residents in the Florida Keys to celebrate even as others around Florida and Puerto Rico continue to deal with the damage caused by Hurricanes Ian, Nicole and Fiona.
Hurricane Ian is quickly gaining monstrous strength as it moves over oceans partly heated up by climate change, just like 30 other Atlantic tropical storms since 2017 that became much more powerful in less than a day.
Imagine a well-developed hurricane way out in the Atlantic. We need to know just how powerful its winds are, but it is too far way to send in a Hurricane Hunter. We would need a way to estimate the storm’s wind strength and just how strong it’s becoming. Here’s an example of Hurricane Isabel back in 2003, way out there, between the African coast and the Caribbean:
Last week, NBC/MSNBC meteorologist Bill Karins posted a trivia tweet noting that the last time we had an August with no named tropical storms was 1997! Now that our models can actually get to the end of the month, it’s worth noting that we may, indeed, get to September before a named tropical storm or hurricane shows up in the Atlantic basin. Saying that, the National Hurricane Center slapped a 20% chance for development on a spot in the Atlantic:
