Scattered downpours possible through Thursday, then humidity drops

HOUSTON, Texas (KTRK) -- Keep the umbrella nearby through Thursday as at least small chances for a downpour continue to start off our new work week. Later in the week we should get a nice break in the humidity before tropical air returns again near the start of astronomical fall.

Isolated showers are possible mainly in our coastal counties for the morning drive. There's a 30% chance for a downpour in Houston for the afternoon as the sea breeze pushes in from the coast. These showers will be mostly gone by 6 p.m.

High temperatures will vary depending on if you get rain or not, but most of Southeast Texas will likely warm into the mid 90s. Factor in the humidity, and it will easily feel above 100. A Heat Advisory is in effect for Southeast Texas from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. Monday.

When are the highest chances of rain this week?

Thursday looks to bring the highest rain odds as a batch of tropical moisture blows in that day. Then it blows right out by Thursday night, making for a nice humidity drop Friday and Saturday.

Are you seeing any signs of a fall front coming this way?

Aside from our humidity break later this week, the best we can probably muster up is a weak front before the end of September. We will likely have to wait until October to get a true fall front.

What are you tracking in the tropics?

There is one small area we are monitoring for tropical development in the Atlantic while the Pacific continues to crank out storms. For a more in-depth discussion on what's happening in the tropics, visit our Daily Tropical Update page.
