Tropical Update: Potential storm develops in Gulf
Potential Tropical Cyclone One is still churning in the SW Gulf of Mexico with 40 mph winds moving north at 6 mph. It is still expected to turn into Tropical Storm Alberto over the next 24 hours making landfall in NE Mexico Wednesday night into early Thursday. Heavy rain threat has shifted a bit farther SW but coastal flooding, rip current risk and gusts to 40 mph are all possible for coastal communities. Flood Watch remains in place for most areas near and south of I-10.

So, what's the latest? What exactly should we expect? Well, a system in the far southern Gulf that has the name "Potential Tropical Cyclone #1" will likely become Alberto later today and will bring heavy rain tonight and tomorrow to our area, especially south of I-10. Also, through the day today and tomorrow, gusty winds along the coast will bring coastal flooding to low-lying areas along our beaches and even low roads right on Galveston Bay. A Flood Watch goes into effect at 7 p.m. through the day tomorrow. To stay safe, don't swim in the Gulf and be very careful driving tomorrow morning.

FOX 26 Houston Weather Forecast: Huge amounts of rain on the way
Flood Watch has been issued for Houston and areas near and south of I-10 from 7 pm Tuesday through 1am Thursday. Some locations in the flood watch could pick up 5 to 10" of rain during this time with isolated higher totals. That means you need to watch out for areas that could quickly flood and turn around, don't drown! Trinity River near Liberty is expected to go from moderate to major flood stage later this week so watch for the flood threat increasing here also. Big plume of tropical moisture will surge north of Potential Tropical Cyclone 1 in the SW Gulf of Mexico. This system should slam into Eastern Mexico over the next few days but will bring us several rounds of heavy rain. Heaviest rain is expected Tuesday PM - Wednesday PM and both are FOX 26 Storm Alert Days. Beach conditions will also be rough where there's a coastal flood watch & higher risk for rip currents. Lower rain chances will linger through the weekend and early next week.

Fox 26 Houston Weather Forecast
Get ready for off-and-on heavy downpours beginning today and intensifying late Tuesday and Wednesday. Upwards of 5-10” of rain will be possible with lower amounts north of Houston. An area of low pressure in the southern Gulf of Mexico could become a tropical depression or even a tropical storm over the next couple of days, but whether or not it does, our forecast remains the same with a good chance for heavy rain. A flood watch is likely to be issued for our area heading into Tuesday and Wednesday.
Tropical weather development increasing, heavy rain forecasted for Texas Gulf Coast
Expect a tropical depression or tropical storm in the Gulf of Mexico this week. The rainfall totals for parts of the US Gulf Coast will be high no matter how the National Hurricane Centers classifies this system. Here is the latest look at where flash flooding can be expected.
Houston Weather: Brief break from storms Saturday before heavy rain and flooding risk next week
We are finally getting a break from the severe storms and heavy downpours. But it won't last for long! Look for one more hot and mainly dry day Saturday with high temperatures in the middle to upper 90s. Then tropical moisture will start to build in from the south. We are closely monitoring a disturbance in the southern Gulf of Mexico that now has a MEDIUM 50% chance to turn into our first tropical depression or storm of the season. It should stay to our south but moisture will increase, especially Sunday through next Thursday. Heavy downpours will become more likely which could cause some flooding issues. Temperatures will be a bit cooler next week with more clouds and rain. Check out our FOX 26 weather app and FOX Local to get the latest on weather where you live!
Watching tropical system Alberto: rainy week ahead for Houston
We are closely watching the southern Gulf of Mexico where a tropical depression or tropical storm could develop over the next 7 days. The name would be Alberto and this would be the first Tropical system of the season. The chance for this happening has increased to 50%. If the system develops, it would likely stay to the south of Houston. But a big plume of tropical moisture will still spill into our area. That will mean daily rain chances next week and an increased threat for heavy rain and flooding. Models are indicating 3-6" of rain near and south of I-10 with 1-3" north of I-10 Sunday through Thursday. The potential tropical cyclone in the eastern Pacific has fallen apart and the low off of the SE US should merge with a front and fall apart as it moves out into the Atlantic.
