Texas Weather: Wet and Stormy Labor Day as Rain Chances Continue

Texas Weather: Wet and Stormy Labor Day as Rain Chances Continue

by

A wet Labor Day is expected to dampen some outdoor plans across the Lone Star State. Scattered to numerous showers and thunderstorms are most likely along and west of Interstate 35 into western sections of the state and southern regions. Severe thunderstorms with large hail, damaging winds, and tornadoes are unlikely. Heavy rainfall may result in localized flooding.

For most, today’s rain chances will be like the rest we’ve seen this past week. It may rain for an hour or two, but otherwise, it will be an okay day. However, we may also see pockets of more prolonged rainfall across the Big Country, Concho Valley, and Edwards Plateau. Some lucky folks may pick up a few inches of rain today.

Forecast rain chances on Tuesday show another wet day across the western half of Texas, and across southern regions of the state.

In the same regions, Tuesday is likely another day of scattered showers and storms. Compared to today, the Ark-La-Tex, East Texas, and the Golden Triangle may dry out. The Panhandle is also mainly looking dry for the next couple of days. After Wednesday, we will start toning down the chances of widespread rain across Texas. Abundant moisture and daytime heating will be enough to keep at least isolated storm chances continuing along the Texas Gulf Coast and the southeast third of Texas through the weekend.

Forecast rain totals through Friday across Texas. A few inches of rain is expected to fall across the Big Bend, Concho Valley, Big Bend, Hill Country, Edwards Plateau, Rio Grande Valley, Coastal Bend, Coastal Plains, and Upper Texas Gulf Coast.

Thanks to our rain and clouds, the western half of Texas will likely enjoy high temperatures in the 70s this Labor Day and Tuesday. We’ll start slowly climbing up the temperature ladder for the second half of the week as we start to see less rain. High temperatures across most of Texas look to return to the upper 80s and lower 90s by Friday.

Climate Prediction Center indicates a higher-than-average chance that we may remain on the 'less hot' side in Texas as we enter the second week of September.

Hurricane issues?

The Atlantic Basin is looking a bit more active, with a few candidates for potential tropical mischief. However, we are not expecting any issues in Texas for at least the next five to seven days. Some weather model data was aggressive in the seven to ten-day timeframe for the Gulf of Mexico, but that has backed off a bit. Nevertheless, we’ll need to watch trends in the more extended range—nothing imminent and nothing that’s locked in to be a Texas issue.
