Tropical downpours hit Houston this weekend, ABC13 Weather Watch for Monday

HOUSTON, Texas (KTRK) -- Keep the umbrella handy this weekend! And if you have outdoor plans, make sure you also have a place to run for cover should a heavy thunderstorm pass overhead. By Monday it will be even stormier as a summer front approaches Southeast Texas.

A few lingering showers are possible through sunset Saturday evening but we're drying out overnight. Temperatures were able to cool to the mid 80s after the rounds of rain earlier in the day and will fall into the mid 70s by Sunday morning. Sunday will start off stormy once again with another round of scattered showers and storms developing along the coast around sunrise then moving north into Houston and the I-10 corridor by mid-morning. That paves the way for scattered showers and storms to continue off and on throughout the day Sunday. While there will be some drier hours, be sure to keep an eye on 13 Alert Radar if you have any outdoor plans. Temperature wise, most locations will be in the mid-upper 80s throughout the day with passing rain. But if you miss out on these showers and storms Sunday, you'll likely reach the low 90s.

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

With the summer front stalling out nearby, it will focus storms over Southeast Texas and slow down their motion, increasing the risk of street flooding. Rain is possible in the morning, afternoon, evening, and overnight, so stay weather aware. A quick 1-3" of rain could quickly flood streets.

Is any severe weather expected?

Not at this time, but there could be some street flooding issues early next week with the higher rain chances Sunday through Tuesday.

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.
