Although some uncertainty remains, a very real flood risk exists across the Houston region this week
Space City Weather • • nation
Key Points:
- Houston faces daily heavy rainfall threats this week due to a weak front early in the week and a slow-moving tropical disturbance midweek, both capable of causing significant flooding.
- A Stage 2 flood alert is currently in effect for the greater Houston area, with possible escalation depending on the tropical disturbance's path and rainfall intensity.
- Monday and Tuesday will experience stormy conditions with 2 to 4 inches of rain expected, and localized areas could see over 6 inches, increasing flash flood risks.
- From Wednesday to Friday, uncertainty grows as a low-pressure system over northeastern Mexico moves toward the Gulf, potentially bringing 20 inches or more of rain to parts of the upper Texas coast or southwestern Louisiana.
- Rain chances may decrease over the weekend, with temperatures rising to around 90 degrees and partly sunny skies expected, continuing into next week.
