Rain chances increase as weak front moves south

HOUSTON, Texas (KTRK) — We ended up seeing a few heavy showers and storms across parts of SE Texas this afternoon. Activity should mostly come to an end once the sun goes down.

Isolated coastal showers are expected to pop up Monday morning with rain chances increasing a bit into the afternoon. Just like today, showers and storms should be isolated to widely scattered in the afternoon. Rain chances increase Monday evening as a weak cool front moves into our area. This should help fire up more showers and storms, and some could bring locally heavy rain which could lead to isolated street flooding.

Will the rainy pattern let up next week?
In a word, no. Another summer front will push down the Plains and into Southeast Texas Monday night into Tuesday. That boundary will generate widespread showers, thunderstorms, and clouds Monday night through Thursday. There is washout potential on these days, so if you have outdoor plans it might be good to have a “plan B” ready to go just in case. The good news is high temperatures may peak in the 80s all three of those days.

Will we ever get a break from this rain?
We are expecting a change in our weather pattern as we head into next weekend. A ridge of high pressure will build in over Texas bringing in drier conditions for next weekend and the following week.
