Francine's Aftermath | Fox 26 Houston Weather Forecast
As Tropical Storm Francine moves northward through MIssissippi today, we are on the "clean" side of the circulation, so the Houston area will experience please, quiet weather today. We are also at the beginning of a late summer warm-up with several days of low to mid-90s and only isolated showers. In fact, the next couple of weeks will, in general, remain hotter and drier than average for our area. Hurricane Francine brought life-threatening flooding to New Orleans yesterday and winds as high as 105 mph along coastal Louisiana with near 80 mph in New Orleans. The next tropical system has formed very far away in the Atlantic Ocean. Tropical Depression 7 is likely to become Tropical Storm Gordon today, but is not a concern for land at this point.

Francine's Approach | Fox 26 Houston Weather Forecast
Francine is not going to make a direct hit on Texas, but a tropical storm watch remains in effect for all of our coastal areas due to the risk of coastal flooding, very rough surf, and wind gusts of about 40mph. Louisiana cities like Morgan City, New Iberia, Lafayette, Baton Rouge, and New Orleans will all be at risk for hurricane-force winds and coastal areas will have a risk for dangerous storm surges. Look for off-and-on storms that will move into our coastal counties through the day today and tonight with winds increasing late today. Most cities inland like Katy, Sugar Land, Cypress, Spring, etc. will experience few significant impacts other than a strong breeze and scattered storms today and tomorrow. Beyond tomorrow, expect sunshine and very warm late summer weather for us through the weekend and early next week.

Gulf storm strengthens | Fox 26 Houston Weather Forecast
Let's start with the main headline - we are watching a strengthening low in the southern Gulf that is likely to become a tropical storm and even a hurricane over the next two days. All recent model forecasts and the official National Hurricane Center outlook show the center of circulation passing east of our area and making a Wednesday landfall in Louisiana. We should still prepare for heavy rain, especially near the coastline and the potential for coastal flooding from late Tuesday into Wednesday. Otherwise, today's weather is amazing. After the coolest morning since May, we'll enjoy sunshine and a warm, dry breeze today. Watch for storms from late Tuesday through Wednesday along with periods of gusty winds. Thursday through the weekend will likely be warm and humid.

Is a tropical storm on the horizon? | Fox 26 Houston Weather Forecast
Happy Sunday, everyone. We get to enjoy another beauty today and again tomorrow. Expected morning temps in the 60s and low 70s with breezy, dry days in the 80s. Now, for the big topic - yes, it looks like a tropical system will form in the southern Gulf over the next couple of days. Every model at this point is showing the center of a likely tropical storm staying just off our coastline and moving into Louisiana. In this scenario, we would see heavy rain for coastal counties with gusty winds and very rough seas. If the path shift a bit to the left, we could get more widespread rain and wind, so stay tuned for updates. The next names on the tropical list are Francine and Gordon. There is another system far away in the Atlantic that will probably become a strong hurricane this week but is not a threat to Texas.
