Key Points:
- Moisture from Pacific Hurricane Polo will bring scattered storms and possible flooding to Texas, especially Central Texas, starting Thursday and continuing into the weekend.
- Early in the week, rain chances are low with isolated showers possible Tuesday and spotty sea breeze showers on Wednesday, but widespread rain is unlikely.
- A front moving in from the west combined with tropical moisture will increase rain chances later in the week, with the highest rainfall expected west of Houston, though isolated heavy rain could affect Southeast Texas.
- The 2026 hurricane season has seen eight tropical storms but no hurricanes yet, setting a record for the latest hurricane formation, with Tropical Storm Hanna currently active in the Central Atlantic.
- Cooler temperatures are expected later in the week due to increased rain and cloud cover associated with the approaching weather systems.
