Expect a warm and dry Tuesday afternoon in the upper 80s

As evacuations take place on the Gulf Coast of Florida, the weather in our area couldn't be nicer. We woke up to 50s and 60s this morning and each afternoon for the rest of the week will be sunny, warm, and very dry with highs in the upper 80s. Hurricane Ian is expected to slam the west coast of Florida with major hurricane winds, a damaging storm surge, and more than 10" of rain through the day Wednesday and Thursday.

As evacuations take place on the Gulf Coast of Florida, weather in our area couldn't be nicer. We woke up to 50s and 60s this morning and that trend will continue for the rest of the week. Each afternoon will be sunny, warm and very dry with highs in the upper 80s, Hurricane Ian is expected to slam the west coast of Florida with major hurricane winds, a damaging storm surge and more than 10" of rain through the day Wednesday and Thursday.

Monday evening weather forecast

Weak cold front is pushing through which will bring a noticeable difference in the form of lower humidity. Temperatures will remain warm for the rest of the week in the afternoon near 90. But overnight lows will be pleasant in the 50s and 60s. Look for bright sunshine as high pressure dominates. Hurricane Ian will be no threat for SE TX but will have huge impacts in Florida and other parts of the SE over the coming days. Ian is forecast to strengthen to a major hurricane by Tuesday and head over to the western Florida Gulf coast by late Wednesday & early Thursday.

Cooler air is on the way! As Hurricane Ian gains strength and threatens to bring heavy rain and a serious storm surge to Florida, our weather will be the complete opposite. Expect sunshine and increasingly dry air with overnight lows in the 50s and 60s! Today will be hot, but with drier air moving in from the north.

Sunday night leading into Monday morning weather forecast

The unusually hot temperatures over the weekend should start to transition back to normal on Monday. The mornings in Houston will be noticeably drier and cooler starting on Tuesday. The pleasant, less humid patter will set in for the rest of the week. Make plans to enjoy some dry afternoons with high temperatures only in the 80s!

Sunday Morning Forecast with Meteorologist Lena Maria Arango

One last warm day, and then tomorrow the transition begins. Plan for a bit of a breeze as the front works its way through our area on Monday, though rain chances are looking minimal at best. Come Tuesday, a blissful less humid weather pattern sets in for the remainder of the week. Our highs will be near average, and our morning lows will actually be slightly below! In the tropics, Ian is set to rapidly intensify today eventually becoming a major hurricane before impacting Florida midweek. There are no concerns for Texas, and things in the rest of the Atlantic basin continue to fizzle out.

Saturday night leading into Sunday morning weather forecast

Houston will end the weekend a lot as it started. Sunday morning will see temperatures in the mid-70s with afternoon highs in the mid-90s. The abnormally hot September weather gradually fades as we move through the week. Look for conditions to seem more appropriate for the calendar starting on Wednesday.

Your Saturday Morning Forecast with Meteorologist Lena Maria Arango

Fall may be late to the party, but is scheduled to make a fashionably late arrival by middle of next week. We have an approaching cold front to thank for that, which will also help to keep now Tropical Storm Ian east of southeast Texas. Until then, though toasty temps remain for your weekend plans. The presence of high pressure leading into the arrival of the front means that we don't have much moisture to work with. So, we won't see much in the way of rain over the course of the next week.

Saturday morning weather forecast
video

Strong ridge of high pressure over Texas will mean the threat for more record high temperatures Saturday in the middle to upper 90s. That high breaks down through by next week allowing a cold front to swing through bringing slightly cooler air and small rain chances. That front should also help to steer Tropical Depression #9 away from SE TX and push it towards Florida. We are also still tracking Category 3 hurricane Fiona headed to the Canadian Maritimes, Tropical Storm Gaston impacting the Azores, newly formed Tropical Storm Hermine in the eastern Atlantic and a tropical wave in the south central Atlantic.

Friday afternoon weather forecast with Chief Meteorologist Mike Iscovitz

A tropical system will gain strength in the Caribbean this weekend, but a cold front moving toward Texas will most likely steer that potential hurricane away from Houston. In the meantime, expect hot sunshine and record highs today and tomorrow with the mid-90s staying with us until Monday. Early next week, a front will bring us much drier air as Florida will be drenched with heavy rain and potentially high winds.

Record heat is expected across Houston over the next few days as a strong ridge of high pressure continues to dominate our area. We will be near triple digits through Saturday with mainly dry weather. Weak cold front is expected to bring some relief next week on Monday and possibly help to steer a tropical system away from SE TX. Tropical wave in the SE Caribbean is expected to move west and has a 80-90% chance for development over the next 2-5 days. Models are projecting this will move W then NW through the Caribbean then turn north into the Gulf of Mexico next week. Models are disagreeing with where it will head once it reaches the Gulf so it is something we are monitoring closely.

Thursday afternoon weather forecast with Meteorologist Lena Maria

"Fall" begins on a toasty note, with potentially record-breaking heat lingering into the weekend. A cool front will pull in more seasonable, refreshing temperatures and drier air for next week. It also may help act as a boundary, to steer away a developing tropical system. For the latest on that, and all other happenings in the Atlantic visit the tropics tab on our website and our in-depth discussions on YouTube.

Sunny and hot with afternoon temperatures in the upper 90s

There are three headlines in our forecast over the next 7 days: 1st, record hot temperatures for the start of the fall season. 2nd, a likely tropical storm or hurricane in the Caribbean this weekend. 3rd, a cold front early next week that will bring a nice cooldown for us and could also deflect the aforementioned tropical system. We'll keep you updated on the progress of the low in the Caribbean.

Thursday morning weather forecast

The heat will be the big story through the end of the work week as a strong ridge of high pressure dominates SE Texas. Temperatures soar to near 100 Thursday with record setting upper 90s likely Friday & Saturday. Ridge will gradually break down early next week allowing a weak cold front to slide in bringing slight heat relief next week and a little rain. Highs in the 80s could return by the middle of next week! In the tropics, Fiona will head close to Bermuda as a major hurricane over the next few days with tropical storm Gaston not expected to be a threat. A tropical wave in the southern Atlantic will have a chance to develop and move into the Caribbean and Gulf of Mexico over the next several days. This is the system we are closely monitoring for any possible impact to our area.

Wednesday weather forecast

Next few days, it's all about the heat locally. In fact, the first day of "all" will likely be the hottest day of the week! The heat dome will begin to break apart some and shift west over the weekend, allowing for a weak cool front to approach on Monday. We may squeeze out a few showers as the pattern shifts, and can look forward to some cooler less humid air by middle of next week. In the Tropics, Invest 98-L bears watching and could soon become "Hermine" as it treks through the Caribbean, but is a long ways away from being a concern for anyone at this time.

Warm and humid this morning, then sunny and hot

Today is the last day of summer and it's going to be sunny and hot again, but the first day of fall tomorrow will be even hotter. In fact, record highs are possible on Thursday, Friday and Saturday. A weak cold front is on the way early next week and it may arrive just in time to steer a tropical system away from Texas. At this point, all of our major computer models are showing a hurricane approaching the Yucatan, Cuba and/or Florida next week. So far, Texas looks like a less likely target, but it's something we'll watch closely.
