Continuing to monitor tropical waves in Atlantic | FOX 26 Tropical Weather Forecast
In the Atlantic, no named storms have formed since Ernesto on August 12th. This has been a pretty remarkable quiet period for hurricane activity. But don't let your guard down as September is historically the busiest month of hurricane season. We are monitoring three tropical waves in the Atlantic basin. One in the Central Caribbean has a low 30% chance of development over the next seven days. There are also two tropical waves in the central and eastern Atlantic. Both only have a low chance to become a tropical system but will be watched closely.

Summer cold front| Fox 26 Houston Weather Forecast
Following flooding bear the beaches on Labor Day, today we'll continue a similar pattern with heavy rain south of Houston and more spotty storms closer to town and surrounding suburbs. Look for humid highs in the low 90s. Rain chances will actually rise for Wednesday and especially Thursday, but then...a summer "cold" front! The main change we expect is that the humidity will drop by Saturday and lows could even drop into the upper 60s in spots by Sunday and Monday morning. Surprisingly, there is very little activity in the tropics, but there is a chance for a low to develop and affect the Yucatan later this week. Otherwise, we're in good shape for now.

Rain continues into Tuesday | FOX 26 Houston Weather Forecast
The threat for more heavy downpours and flooding will continue for a few more days, especially around Galveston, Lake Jackson, Angleton & Bay City. Low pressure near coast is not expected to turn into a tropical system since it will move over land by tomorrow morning. But this disturbance combined with a weak cold front will keep decent rain chances in the forecast through Thursday. Behind the late summer cold front, expect a refreshing pattern change that will include brighter skies, lower humidity and drier weather!

Labor Day washout on Galveston Island
Galveston's typically bustling Labor Day was dampened by heavy rain, resulting in desolation and safety concerns on the beaches. Nonetheless, a handful of resilient visitors made the best of the stormy holiday.

Monitoring two areas of disturbed weather in Atlantic | FOX 26 Houston Tropical Weather Update
We are now officially in what is typically the busiest month of hurricane season! There's some good news though. Disturbance in the NW Gulf of Mexico near Houston should move over land early Tuesday which ends the chance of tropical formation. However there are two other tropical waves with a MEDIUM 40% chance of development. One is in the Eastern Caribbean and could make it into the SW Gulf by this weekend. The other is still far out in the Eastern Atlantic which gives us several days to watch it. The next two names on the list are Francine and Gordon. The peak of hurricane season is September 10.

Scattered storms & rip currents | Fox 26 Houston Weather Forecast
Happy Labor Day, everyone. We hope you have a relaxing one, but there will be some showers and storms to dodge. If you have beach plans today, just be cautious and check your Fox 26 weather app because there is a high chance for storms and even some isolated street flooding. In between storms it will be breezy with an onshore wind, so rip currents will be possible. Be careful. For the rest of the week, expect scattered showers and storms on Tuesday with a higher rain chance Wednesday and early Thursday. By the end of the week, guess what...a summer cold front? It looks like a front will pass through by Friday bringing slightly drier air. Days will still be warm, but morning lows should be about 5-10 degrees cooler. As far as tropical activity, a small area of low pressure will meander around our coastline for the next few days before the front comes through and it's chances for becoming a depression are low. Elsewhere, we'll watch for a possible system in the Caribbean or Gulf in about 10-12 days, but all that is highly uncertain.

The National Hurricane Center is still watching a broad area of low pressure off the Texas coast. Tropical development is not expected but also not impossible.
