Continuing to monitor two potential systems | FOX 26 Tropical Weather Forecast
Two areas are still being monitored for tropical development. One is in the west-central Atlantic and the other is in the western Caribbean near Central America. Invest 94-L in the Atlantic is a few hundred miles east of the Leeward Islands with a Low 30% chance of development into a tropical system. It could reach Puerto Rico and Hispaniola this weekend as a tropical depression or storm. But strong upper-level winds should end development chances by late in the weekend. Broad area of low pressure in the western Caribbean also has a low 30% chance to develop into a tropical system. The window is brief since it is expected to make landfall in Central America and Southern Mexico this weekend.

Wow! Our temperatures this morning were the coolest since early April and we have some beautiful weather ahead today. Expect lots of sunshine, very dry air and lighter winds than yesterday. Speaking of yesterday, it was the first time in more than a month that the temperature was below average. One issue to be aware of - with very little rain over the last few weeks, we are slipping back into a drought and many local counties have outdoor burn bans in effect. Grass or brush fires are possible, so let's do everything to avoid that. Over the next 5-7 days, we'll feel conditions gradually get more humid and highs could return to near 90 by next week. Allergy levels, especially ragweed, should remain high for the foreseeable future.

Clear skies and drier air should bring us the coolest weather in more than six months tonight area wide - bona fide brisk!

One issue to be aware of is that we are dry - very dry, and with wind and low humidity, there is a fire risk today. Most local counties are under declared burn bans, so avoid anything that could set dry grass or brush on fire. There are a couple of possible developments in the tropics, but neither is a concern for our area at this point. Enjoy the chilly air!

Monitoring areas of development in Atlantic | FOX 26 Houston Tropical Weather Forecast
There are still two areas of concern we are closely monitoring in the Atlantic basin. The first, Invest 94-L, has a MEDIUM 50% chance for development into our next tropical system which would be Nadine. It could reach the Lesser Antilles by this weekend as it moves west. Another broad area of low pressure is being monitored in the western Caribbean near Central America. If this disturbance remains over water, there's a low 20% chance it could strengten to a tropical depression or tropical storm. However, landfall would most likely be around Mexico and Central America. Download FOX Local app on your phone or smart tv for daily detailed tropical updates and more!
