ABC13 Weather Watch for Monday & Tuesday with risk of street flooding from heavy t-storms

HOUSTON, Texas (KTRK) -- The stormy weekend was just the beginning! ABC13 Weather Watches are out for Monday and Tuesday with an increasing risk for street flooding from heavy downpours.

A few light showers are left across Southeast Texas late Sunday night, though the overnight hours are going to be mostly dry. Temperatures will remain steady in the upper 70s or low 80s, leading to another warm start to Monday. Early on for Monday a few showers and storms could develop along the coast with the sea breeze. At the same time, we'll be monitoring showers and storms tracking form north to south ahead of and along a boundary to our north. Generally this will lead to widely scattered showers and storms pushing through the Houston area after lunchtime which continues off and on for the rest of the day. Be mindful of the potential for street flooding during your afternoon and evening commute as well as heavy downpours that could reduce visibility and slow you down. Temperature wise, many locations will remain in the 80s Monday with the cloudy sky and rounds of showers.

What should we know about Monday and Tuesday's ABC13 Weather Watch?

With a summer front stalling out nearby, it will focus storms over Southeast Texas and slow down their motion, increasing the risk of street flooding. Rounds of rain are expected to push through the region throughout the day, potentially impact both the morning and evening commutes at times, so best to stay weather aware. A quick 1-3 inches of rain could quickly flood streets especially after much of Southeast Texas already picked up heavy downpours over the weekend. On average most of Southeast Texas could pick up around 2 to 5 inches of rain in total between the two days. Besides the flood risk, a few thunderstorms could potentially produce wind gusts upwards of 50 to 60 mph at times that could lead to minor tree damage.

When does this stormy pattern come to an end?

By Wednesday the tropical air is gone, and the rain chance will drop to 40%. Most of the showers will pop up in the afternoon heat and dissipate with the setting of the sun. Rain chances will continue to drop for the rest of the week, allowing high temperatures to soar into the upper 90s.

What are you tracking in the tropics?

For now it's all about the Saharan dust tracking through the main development region of the Atlantic basin. Meanwhile there are several waves to monitor in the Pacific. Visit our Tropical Update page for a more in-depth tropical weather discussion and forecast.
