A cold front is expected to move into Houston on Wednesday, bringing storms, possible street flooding, and lower temperatures later in the week. According to the National Weather Service, "Showers and thunderstorms likely, then showers and possibly a thunderstorm after 4pm," with high temperatures near 93 degrees.
Stormy weather is expected to start in northern areas like College Station in the afternoon and reach Houston by mid-to-late afternoon, with "rain and thunderstorm activity entering the northern parts of the area" and strengthening as a cold front moves toward the Gulf Coast. The front and sea breeze storms may lead to "a potential for storms slamming into one another across Houston," bringing heavy rain, isolated street flooding, and rainfall of 1–2 inches or more if storms move slowly, as reported by Click2Houston. Winds will shift from east around 5 mph to west in the evening.
After the storm system moves through, the National Weather Service forecasts cooler air and lower humidity by Friday, with "sunny" days and "mostly clear" nights. Morning temperatures are expected to fall into the upper 60s, and conditions will "feel great with lower humidity." In the tropics, Hurricane Gabrielle is tracking east of Bermuda, while two tropical waves in the Atlantic may develop further as hurricane season continues, as per Click2Houston.
