Torrid, muggy weather predicted for Houston this week, accompanied by a daily probability of rainfall
On Monday, August 25, 2025, Houston residents can expect relatively calm conditions with only a slight chance of afternoon thunderstorms. The weather forecast indicates highs in the mid-90s Fahrenheit, making it a hot day in the city [3].
Although the chances of heavy storms are low on Monday, Houston has seen scattered storms earlier in the week. However, the tropical disturbance that influenced the region over the weekend is dissipating inland, leaving behind typical August humidity and occasional afternoon showers or isolated thunderstorms [3].
Regarding potential tropical activity, earlier tropical systems in the Gulf of Mexico have developed late in the prior week. However, by Monday, these systems are expected to have less direct impact on Houston. The tropical disturbance (Invest 98L) has diminished inland, and while there may be added moisture due to past tropical activity, no active tropical storms or hurricanes are forecast to directly affect Houston on Monday [3][2].
In summary, Monday's weather in Houston is expected to be hot, humid, with sporadic afternoon storms but no significant tropical threats. This aligns with normal August weather patterns in Houston [2][3].
It's important to note that while the current hurricane does not look like a Gulf Coast threat, it could come close to the East Coast of the United States. Some spotty areas in the current weather conditions may receive 2 inches of rain each day, and frequent lightning remains a threat [4].
The area of low pressure will move westward, likely being upgraded to Tropical Storm Erin, then a hurricane. Additionally, several tropical waves are expected to move across the Atlantic over the next two weeks [5].
Lastly, the hurricane system currently is a strong tropical wave, very far from Texas - more than 4,000 miles away. The first hurricane of the season is expected to form in the Atlantic Ocean this week [6].
Stay tuned for updates on the weather conditions in Houston and the Gulf Coast. Remember to stay safe and prepared, and follow local weather advisories.

In Texas, the weather on Monday, August 25, 2025, is expected to be hot and humid, with occasional sporadic thunderstorms in Houston, connecting the weather to the tropical disturbance that dwindled inland. However, Houston's health may not be the only concern as the East Coast of the US faces potential threats from an approaching hurricane.
