Happy Labor Day, Southeast Texas! 🇺🇸☀️
If you’re heading outdoors for the holiday, be prepared for hot and mostly sunny conditions across the region.
Temperatures are expected to climb to around 97°F, while the heat index could make it feel as hot as 107°F during the afternoon. A 20% chance of showers and thunderstorms is expected after 1 PM, so a few locations could see a passing storm or brief downpour.
Winds are expected to remain light and calm, providing little relief from the afternoon heat.
Heat Safety Tips
If you’re spending Labor Day outside, take precautions against the heat:
- Drink plenty of water throughout the day.
- Take frequent breaks in the shade or air conditioning.
- Avoid prolonged exposure to the afternoon heat.
- Check on children, older adults, and pets.
- Never leave children or pets unattended in a vehicle.
- Keep an eye on the sky as isolated thunderstorms develop during the afternoon.
While rain chances are relatively low, any thunderstorms that develop could bring brief heavy rain, lightning, and gusty winds.
Overall, Southeast Texas is in for a hot and mostly sunny Labor Day, with temperatures near 97°F and a few afternoon showers or thunderstorms possible.
Have a safe, cool, and happy Labor Day!
