Rainy and muggy conditions expected in Houston on Tuesday, with potential for strong thunderstorms.
Tropical Storm Erin Poses No Immediate Threat to Houston, Forecast Remains Normal
Houston residents can breathe a sigh of relief as Tropical Storm Erin, currently affecting parts of the Caribbean and the Bahamas, is not expected to directly impact the city or the Gulf Coast this week.
According to the latest forecasts, Erin is likely to curve north and east off the U.S. East Coast later in the week, posing a greater threat to the Bahamas, the U.S. East Coast, and Bermuda through rip currents and coastal flooding, especially around North Carolina.
Meanwhile, the weather in Houston on Tuesday is expected to remain typical for August. The city will experience hot temperatures in the mid-90s, humid and warm conditions, with a chance of scattered afternoon thunderstorms. The weather pattern is expected to remain favorable for some decent downpours after about 2 p.m., with slightly higher moisture levels than normal.
It's important to note that lightning is a concern, especially since kids will be getting off the school bus at that time. Residents are advised to take necessary precautions and seek shelter during any storms.
For the latest updates on Tropical Storm Erin and other weather developments, it is recommended to check the Weather App on the website regularly.
In summary, Houston's weather on Tuesday will remain influenced by local atmospheric conditions rather than Tropical Storm Erin. The first hurricane of the season, named Erin, is expected to form in the Atlantic Ocean over the next three days, but it is currently not expected to affect Houston or the Gulf region.
- Despite the formation of Tropical Storm Erin, Houston's weather on Tuesday remains unaffected and will instead experience typical August conditions.
- The health risks associated with Tropical Storm Erin remain low for Houston residents, as the storm is forecasted to curve away from the Gulf Coast and pose no immediate threat.
