Moisture creeps back in Saturday night and could lead to some fog or showers early on Sunday morning. Outdoor plans should not be a problem Sunday evening and Monday as Houston returns to a quiet pattern. Rafael is also stalling out in the Gulf. It will start sliding to the southwest on Monday avoiding direct impacts on southeast Texas.

Beach Hazards statement remains in place along the coast until Sunday morning with the risk for elevated tide levels, more wave action, and a higher risk for rip currents. These are the only impacts we should feel from Hurricane Rafael which is moving west in the central Gulf of Mexico. Cold front will move through Houston by Saturday morning which will keep Rafael away from our area. Rafael should weaken to a tropical storm this weekend and then track into the SW Gulf of Mexico early next week as it falls apart. Cold front will bring an increased risk for showers and storms tonight through Saturday morning. A few storms could be strong but widespread severe weather is not likely. Best risk for winds near 50 mph and hail would be NW around Brenham, College Station & Huntsville. Rain chances will decrease Saturday afternoon and the majority of Sunday should be dry. Another front will bring some showers Wednesday followed by a nice drop in temperatures late next week.

Hurricane Rafael: Track, timing and more
video

FOX 26 meteorologist Remeisha Shade looks and the path of Hurricane Rafael. Hurricane Rafael remains a powerful Category 2 Hurricane now in the central Gulf of Mexico. It will continue to drift west then turn more to the south early next week. Drier air wrapping into the system and vertical wind shear will force Rafael to get weaker through the weekend. Rafael should weaken to a tropical storm by Saturday evening and a mere remnant low by Monday and Tuesday. Rafael will stay south of Houston. However, minor impacts will be felt this weekend along the coast in the form of a rip currents risk and some wave action. Another disturbance near Hispaniola has a very low 10% chance for tropical development as it drifts west towards the Bahamas. The next name would be Sara and hurricane season runs through November 30th.

Continuing to monitor Hurricane Rafael in the Gulf of Mexico | FOX 26 Tropical Weather Update

Hurricane Rafael has pushed into the SE Gulf of Mexico and is expected to drift WNW. As it encounters more hostile winds and drier air, it will gradually weaken back to a tropical storm by Saturday night. It should stay south of Houston over water and meander in the south-central gulf as it weakens through early next week. Models now have Rafael dropping SW into the Bay of Campeche as it falls apart Monday and Tuesday. An increased rip currents risk and elevated tide levels are possible along the coast this weekend. But no major impacts are anticipated. Trough of low pressure around the N. Leeward Islands is producing disorganized showers and storms. It is being given a LOW 20% chance for tropical development over the next 7 days as it moves towards the Bahamas. If this develops it would be named Sara.
