Houston Weather Outlook: Rain Threat Dims After Tuesday as Coastal Tropical Storm Looms

Following heavy Tuesday showers that caused localized street flooding, Houston’s rain threat is expected to ease, even as a tropical storm may form off the Texas coast Wednesday and bring 1–3 ft surge and gusty winds to coastal areas; most of the city should see 0–1 inch of rain with isolated bullseyes up to 3 inches near the coast, and Thursday–Friday look mostly sunny with highs in the low 90s, while Saturday’s forecast remains uncertain and Sunday looks dry.

Gulf flood threat grows as tropical moisture could form Arthur, Texas bears the brunt

Gulf flood threat grows as tropical moisture could form Arthur, Texas bears the brunt

A stalled front interacting with abundant tropical moisture could unleash heavy rain across the Gulf Coast this week, with 3–4 inches per hour bursts and 6–12 inches more rainfall in many areas from South Texas to Mississippi. Flood watches cover more than 16 million people as a potential tropical depression/storm could form in the NW Gulf (Arthur) if conditions permit. Texas has already seen at least one death and multiple water rescues; Texas governor declared a disaster for 101 counties. Even if no storm forms, the moisture and stalled front signal widespread flooding across the region.

Gulf updraft could spark this season’s first tropical storm

Gulf updraft could spark this season’s first tropical storm

The National Hurricane Center says a broad low-pressure system moving from south Texas toward the northwestern Gulf of Mexico could become the season’s first tropical storm, potentially named Arthur, with marginal conditions allowing short-lived development late today or Wednesday. Regardless of formation, residents of southern/eastern Texas and parts of Louisiana and Mississippi should prepare for heavy rainfall and possible life-threatening flooding, along with gusty winds and coastal flooding along the Gulf Coast. The NHC assigns about a 60% chance of development in the next two to seven days, and the Atlantic hurricane season—which begins June 1 and is expected to be below normal (8–14 named storms, 3–6 hurricanes, 1–3 major)—remains in the monitoring phase with updates every six hours.

Texas Faces Major Flood Threat as Tropical Moisture Fuels Heavy Rain

Texas Faces Major Flood Threat as Tropical Moisture Fuels Heavy Rain

Nearly 18 million people from central Texas to central Mississippi are under flood watches as a stalled front taps tropical moisture from remnants of Cristina, setting off multiple days of heavy rain across the Texas-Gulf region. The Weather Prediction Center has issued a Level 3 out of 4 flood threat for four consecutive days, with 5–10 inches of rain possible and potential life-threatening flash floods in some areas; water rescues have already occurred in Texas and Louisiana. The system could become the Atlantic season’s first tropical depression or storm (Arthur) if it moves into the northwest Gulf, possibly triggering tropical-storm watches along the Gulf Coast; even if it stays inland, the heavy rainfall could persist through midweek, creating widespread flooding risks.

Gulf disturbance could become 2026’s first named storm, Arthur, bringing heavy rain to Houston

Gulf disturbance could become 2026’s first named storm, Arthur, bringing heavy rain to Houston

A disturbance over northeastern Mexico has a 50% chance to become a tropical storm in the Gulf, potentially late Tuesday into Wednesday as Arthur—the first named storm of 2026. The bigger risk is prolonged heavy rainfall for Southeast Texas, with a Flood Watch in effect through Thursday and forecast totals of 3–7 inches (locally higher). Rain rates could reach 2–4 inches per hour in bands, creating the potential for flash flooding; stay weather-aware and avoid flooded roads.

El Niño May Dampen Atlantic Hurricane Season in 2026, NOAA Forecasts

El Niño May Dampen Atlantic Hurricane Season in 2026, NOAA Forecasts

NOAA forecasts a below-average Atlantic hurricane season for 2026, with a 55% chance of below-normal activity and 8–14 named storms, 3–6 hurricanes, and 1–3 major hurricanes, largely due to a developing El Niño that increases upper-atmosphere wind shear even as sea temperatures remain warm. Forecasters caution that even in a quiet season, a single major hurricane can cause severe damage, and CSU's separate forecast also signals below-active activity. The season runs June 1 to November 30.

Southeast US braces for tropical storms and hurricanes this week

A developing tropical storm, named Imelda, is expected to approach the southeastern US coast next week, potentially bringing heavy rain, strong winds, and coastal flooding, but a landfall appears unlikely. Meanwhile, Hurricane Humberto has intensified but is forecasted to stay offshore, possibly aiding in steering Imelda away from land.

Tropical Storm Imelda and Hurricane Humberto Threaten Southeast U.S. with Floods and Impact

A tropical storm watch has been issued for Florida's east coast as Tropical Depression Nine, forecasted to become Tropical Storm Imelda, forms near the Bahamas. The system is expected to approach Florida late Sunday through Monday, bringing hazardous conditions including high seas, rip currents, and potential flooding, though its long-term path no longer includes Florida. Meanwhile, Hurricane Humberto has intensified into a Category 4 storm in the Atlantic, with a possible path toward Bermuda, as the hurricane season continues through November.
