Remnants of Edouard to bring more heavy thunderstorms Friday
HOUSTON, Texas (KTRK) -- Th remnants of Edouard continue to bring storm chances to Southeast Texas, and there's a new area of disturbed tropical weather in the Gulf that will keep the rain chances going for the holiday weekend ahead.
Now that the atmosphere is rain-cooled and stable, rain chances will remain lower through the night. Showers and storms may fire up again before sunrise northwest of Houston closer to the upper-level swirl of what was once Edouard. After sunrise, scattered downpours will pop up in the tropical moisture, much like they did on Thursday. Any storm that pops up could drop a quick inch or two of rain and frequent lightning strikes. Street flooding will be possible in the heavy downpours that erupt near Houston, and flash flooding could occur in any storms that move over the water-logged communities around Lake Livingston. The rain should be mostly gone by the evening, so High School football games should be good to go.
Temperatures will start off in the upper 70s and then warm to near 90 before the rain-cooled air spreads through Southeast Texas.
What should we expect for Labor Day Weekend?
A fresh surge of tropical moisture arrives Saturday, bringing more widespread showers and thunderstorms. That moisture thins out Sunday and Monday. Expect morning lows in the upper 70s and afternoon highs in the low-to-mid 90s. Many communities on Saturday may not make it out of the 80s due to the more widespread nature of the rain.
What else are you tracking in the tropics?
Aside from Edouard's remnants, we are also tracking 3 hurricanes in the Pacific. For a more in-depth discussion on what's happening in the tropics, visit our Daily Tropical Update page.
