Slim shower chances return to Houston Monday, but how much will it affect Texans’ home opener?

Monday is shaping up to be all about the Houston Texans, and the weather is playing along with a hot mid-September forecast for kickoff.

The Houston area is expected to remain locked in a stretch of mid-90s temperatures for the next several days.

Mostly dry skies are expected by game day, but don’t put the umbrellas away just yet—there’s still a chance for stray showers, especially during the afternoon.

You can track rain in your area here:Monday’s Forecast:

By the afternoon, temperatures are forecast to reach the mid-90s, with data showing readings around 94 degrees during tailgating and pregame.

This kind of pattern isn’t unusual for the middle of September, with no major cold fronts or temperature relief in sight.

Hit and miss showers

The official kickoff at 6 p.m. should be a bit cooler, with temperatures likely hovering around 92 degrees and steadily dropping into the 80s by the fourth quarter.

The best window for rain appears to be during the afternoon hours, mainly in areas north of Harris County and into places like Wharton and Matagorda, with most showers losing energy by sunset.

Temperatures fall throughout the game

Tropical outlook:

A tropical wave in the eastern Atlantic is stirring up disorganized thunderstorms. We’re closely monitoring for a possible tropical depression.

Next 7 Days: Rain chances

Nothing to worry about now, but some long-range models are looking to spin up a weak open low-pressure system by the end of the week. We’ll keep a watch on it.

Any rain over the next seven days is expected to be minimal—most of the area will likely see less than half an inch.

Temperatures are forecast to stay in the mid to upper 90s, which is just above average for this time of year. Fall officially begins next Tuesday, but the thermometer isn’t reflecting it quite yet.

Your extended forecast:

Temperatures and dewpoints will be on the rise again. Expect highs in the mid-90s and lows in the mid-70s.
