Houston Weather Forecast
The chance for strong storms will return to the forecast for Friday and into the weekend. There is a chance for strong storms north and northeast of Houston late on Friday. Most of the day will just be August hot, but a storm system will crawl into Southeast Texas as the sun sets on Friday.
A Few Storms Possible Friday
The storm chances ramp up to 70% on Saturday with scattered heavy downpours across the area. This means that residents can expect a significant amount of rainfall, which may cause disruptions to outdoor activities.
Weather Impacts for Labor Day Weekend
Saturday and Sunday are both shaping up to be stormy, but Labor Day is highly uncertain. The forecast hinges on the location of a weak cold front that may stall before moving through or pass through and shift rain to the south. This uncertainty makes it difficult to predict the weather for the long weekend, and residents are advised to stay tuned for frequent updates.
Tropical Outlook
Fernand is no longer a threat, and a tropical wave just coming off the west coast of Africa will pass to the south of the Cape Verde Islands. This tropical wave has about a 20% chance of becoming a depression or storm through early next week. However, it is still too early to determine the potential impact of this system on the Gulf Coast.
Conclusion
In conclusion, the weather forecast for Houston is looking stormy for the weekend, with a chance of strong storms on Friday and Saturday. Residents are advised to stay indoors during heavy rainfall and to stay tuned for updates on the weather forecast. The uncertainty surrounding Labor Day makes it essential to monitor the weather closely to plan outdoor activities accordingly. With the tropical outlook still quiet, aside from a tropical wave with a low chance of development, residents can focus on preparing for the potential storms in the coming days.
