Houston weather: Cool, cloudy Monday with rain chances

Alright, so you'll notice if you look to the west or you look to the south, the sky is going to look a lot darker. And then if you look off to the north or to the east, it looks clearer. And that's because the rain is coming at us from the south and from the southwest. And it's actually creating some really beautiful cloud formations out there right now. In fact, if you look at some of the clouds, they have kind of like a wavy appearance to them. That's a sign of turbulence in the middle parts of the atmosphere. It's like a wind shift that's taking place. So it's kind of neat to see that. But this precedes some of the rain that's coming in. Mostly cloudy right now, 61. It's nice, really not a problem out there for the morning commute, which I'm glad to say. This is the outlook for thunderstorms or severe weather today. Now, we're not expecting severe, but this is the approximate dividing line for where there could be some rumbles of thunder, some lightning coming down. And that mostly is from Colorado County down to Matagorda County, not including Harris there. A lot of this is being driven by this big area of low pressure, counterclockwise spin there around the Big Bend region of Texas. Texas and that's pushing a lot of Well, it creates lift basically over here around the San Antonio area. This will move in our direction. It just looks like it's going to have a lot less energy to work with here versus what they're getting off toward the south. There's just less moisture in our atmosphere. That being said, notice that batch of rain is moving in our direction. And it does look like by the middle part of this morning, by 8.30, 9 o'clock. 9.30, we'll have some of this rain moving in. Right now, it's already moving into southern parts of Fort Bend County. Not super heavy. It's just like a nuisance, inconvenience kind of rain that's going to be moving along Highway 59 and Interstate 69 and also the Katy Freeway out here once you get out to Sealy westward. If you are hopping on the roadways and driving out to San Antonio anytime soon, it is going to be a not-so-pretty drive. Same thing heading down 59 to the south if you were going to Victoria or maybe all the way down to the Rio Grande. 59 to 61 in Houston right now. Rain free for now, but cool showers are on the way. And by cool, I mean we're probably going to be stuck at 65 or below for high temperatures in many locations today. Tomorrow, a 30% rain chance. Veterans Day forecast, 20% right now, especially near the coastline. And then we'll get chilly by the end of the week with lows in the 40s.
