Class will be in session for many students this week!
Back-to-School Forecast:
The daily rain chances continue through the first week of school. Since most days won’t be a complete washout, still gear up for high heat and humidity.
The Houston area can expect highs reaching the mid-90s, with humidity driving the heat index up to a steamy 106 degrees.
Plenty of dry time on Monday evening’s commute but there is still a chance for spotty showers and storms across SE Texas.
Track our radar below:
Tuesday storm timeline:
As you head to the bus stop, you might run into some showers and storms Tuesday morning. The best chance in southern Harris county and southeast of I-10.
Afternoon storm coverage decreases, but there is still a chance for hit-and-miss showers and storms that can bring a brief downpour.
On Tuesday evening, watch for storm development across Brenham and College Station as a weak boundary brings a chance for storms. Otherwise, pop-up storms continue to build and die across the rest of SE Texas.
Tracking the tropics, tracking the Gulf:
The 5th named storm has formed in the Atlantic, Tropical Storm Erin. Erin will become a hurricane midweek and rapidly intensify over the weekend into a category 3 hurricane.
Right now, the model consensus is that the storm will take a northerly turn away from the Caribbean. However, there is still uncertainty about whether this will approach the U.S. or stay in the Atlantic. Two things that will determine if the storm moves more east or northwest are the Bermuda High and an upper-level trough that will set up across the east coast of the United States. If the trough is strong enough, the storm system will have a great chance to get pushed away from the East Coast.
Erin is not expected to impact the Gulf Coast at this time. However, the National Hurricane Center is monitoring a large area of unorganized thunderstorms in the Gulf that could move inland and increase rain chances.
Make sure your family is prepared for whatever comes our way this hurricane season. You can check out our 2025 Hurricane and Flood Survival Guide here.
Your extended forecast:
Daily showers and storm chances continue through the end of the week. Watch for brief downpours and stay hydrated as feels-like temperatures will reach the triple digits.
