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.

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.

It is expected to become a tropical storm but intensity and exact track is unclear at the moment. But lots of rain seems certain for parts of Texas and Louisiana, so stay connected as we move out of this beautiful weekend weather.
