Houston, Texas – Holiday travelers could face stormy skies across southeast Texas this Labor Day as scattered thunderstorms linger through Monday night. Drivers on I-45 and I-10 should expect heavy rain at times, reduced visibility, and the risk of slick roads during peak travel hours.
According to the National Weather Service, storms will build across the Houston metro Saturday evening and intensify Sunday into Labor Day. Rain chances sit at 70% Sunday and Monday, with the strongest activity likely during the afternoon and evening. Gusty winds and localized street flooding are possible, particularly in low-lying and poorly drained areas.
Labor Day highs will reach near 89 degrees, but relief is on the way. Cooler, drier September air is forecast to push into Texas by midweek, breaking the muggy stretch. This pattern shift matches a national outlook showing below-normal temperatures spreading across the central U.S. beginning September 4.
Residents should secure outdoor plans around pop-up storms and keep travel flexible through Labor Day. Travelers are advised to charge devices, avoid flooded roadways, and allow extra time if driving through downpours.
By Tuesday, rain chances taper off, giving way to partly sunny skies and highs near 91. Cooler mornings follow, with overnight lows dipping into the lower 70s by midweek.
More updates may be issued if additional advisories or warnings are posted through the weekend.
