Tropical rain likely for Houston and Southeast Texas late week:
This system will be in the Gulf Thursday. It’s too early to know exactly what Houston will see, as the system still has to move across land and may or may not organize. At this time, the most likely scenario is tropical rain. But if it strengthens impacts will change.
Stay weather aware:
Please keep an eye on the forecast. It’s just too early to know the impacts with a system that began to form Tuesday. If the system manages to strengthen in the Bay of Campeche, that will bring more dramatic changes to the forecast for Mexico and Texas. For now, the advice is simple: check back with Click2Houston and the KPRC 2 Weather Team for updates the next three days.
