Houston, TX, September 6, 2026 — Residents in Houston and across Southeast Texas are advised to prepare for continued chances of rain and thunderstorms throughout the upcoming weekend and into the Labor Day holiday. Forecasts indicate a 40% probability of scattered thunderstorms developing on Sunday.
The weather pattern suggests the presence of tropical moisture contributing to these atmospheric conditions. While scattered thunderstorms are anticipated, the threat of widespread street flooding is currently assessed as low. This means that while some localized areas may experience heavy downpours, significant accumulation leading to major inundation is not the primary concern at this time.
Looking ahead to Labor Day Monday, the pattern is expected to persist. Tropical moisture will continue to influence the region, leading to the possibility of more isolated afternoon storm development. The chance of rain on Monday is projected at 30%.
Meteorologists are closely monitoring the atmospheric setup that is allowing this moisture to remain over the area. While specific timing and intensity of individual storm cells can vary, the general outlook points towards a need for caution and preparedness for wet conditions for outdoor activities planned for the weekend and the holiday.
Residents are encouraged to stay updated on the latest weather forecasts as conditions can change. The forecast for Sunday indicates a moderate likelihood of thunderstorms, and Monday’s outlook suggests a lower but still present chance of isolated storms, particularly in the afternoon hours.
