HAPPENING NOW: A flood watch has now been issued from now until Wednesday 7 am.
We’re tracking rain, thunderstorms and a chance for heavier rounds of rain – thanks to the tropical moisture from the Gulf. We could get 2 to 4 inches of rain, but the NWS is not ruling out 6 to 8 inches in isolated spots over the next few days.
- Timing of storms: This morning we tracked isolated rain and thunderstorms, this afternoon it’s a little more scattered around our viewing area and tonight the weather pattern shifts to the north.
You can track radar anytime here: Your weather team is tracking rain and thunderstorms not only today but over the next few days.
Here’s a look at radar just before noon: You can see the weather pattern is a little more scattered – so make sure to keep an eye on the sky and radar.
Today’s Forecast: We’re tracking rain, thunderstorms and triple-digit feel like heat today.
More than 68,000 fans are expected at Houston Stadium at noon for what’s been dubbed the David vs. Goliath matchup by FIFA.com . Plus, another 15,000 visitors are expected to cycle through the FIFA Fan Fest daily, according to VisitHouston.com .
According to our reporting, at the FIFA Fan Festival, if lightning is detected within an 8-mile radius, fans will have to exit the grounds and move to a safe location. Following a 30-minute period without any additional lightning, the gates will reopen.
The peak window for lightning and heavy rain is expected between 2 and 8 p.m. There’s a 60% chance for lightning around Houston Stadium and scattered storms throughout Southeast Texas, making weather monitoring especially important for visitors who aren’t used to how quickly our weather can become dangerous in Houston.
We’re watching an area of low-pressure producing disorganized thunderstorms near Mexico that is bringing tropical moisture toward Houston – giving us a higher chance for downpours.
Monday’s forecast:
There is the potential for a Monday washout! We could wake up to widespread heavy rain with more downpours possible in the afternoon. Our highest street flooding threat is this day in Houston.
Tuesday’s forecast:
Our last round of widespread heavy rain is Tuesday morning. By the early afternoon all of the organized thunderstorms will move out of southeast Texas. Rain totals Sunday to Tuesday range from 1″ to 3″ with a few places getting 5″ to 6″.
10-day forecast:
There could be some hit and miss storms Wednesday but once we get to Thursday Houston heads into our next hot and humid weather pattern.
