Forecast With widespread showers and thunderstorms likely, we have a Stage 1 flood alert in place through Tuesday. Eric Berger · Monday, July 13, 2026 6:55 AM In brief: *Houston will see favorable conditions for widespread showers and thunderstorms today and Tuesday, and accordingly we have put a Stage 1 flood alert into place.
*On Wednesday we should transition to warmer and drier conditions.
*By this weekend, and into next week, we can expect hot and sunny conditions to prevail. Stage 1 flood alert - *Atmospheric moisture levels will surge today and Tuesday, and the absence of high pressure will support the development of widespread showers and thunderstorms.
*Generally, beginning later this morning, we expect rounds of storms to develop and slowly propagate through the region.
*Some of these storms may be slow moving.
*Although there will be some thunder and lightning, the primary threat will be heavy rainfall. *Most of Houston will pick up 1 to 3 inches of rainfall over the next couple of days.
*These are manageable totals.
*However some locations, beneath slower moving storms, may see as much as 5 inches.
*For this reason we are putting a Stage 1 flood alert into place through Tuesday night.
*Essentially this means we are concerned about flooding on freeway frontage roads and low-lying streets. Monday and Tuesday - *Generally, we expect storms to develop offshore this morning and then move inland.
*By around noon, or the early afternoon, we should see showers and thunderstorms develop across the majority of the region.
*There may be a brief pause later this afternoon or evening before another round of showers later tonight.
*This pattern will likely repeat itself through Tuesday.
*Skies will be mostly cloudy when it is not raining, and the storms should should help to limit high temperatures.
*Today will likely reach the upper 80s for most locations, with mid-80s possible on Tuesday.
*Except in stronger thunderstorms, winds will be light.
*Basically, you'll want to be weather aware the next couple of days, and give yourself a little more time before venturing to work or running errands.

StormChaser : Thanks for the forecast. Hopefully no training storms just some nice rain for the grass and trees so I can keep my sprinklers off.
