Prepare for another hot weekend around Houston. Afternoon high temperatures will stay in the mid 90s on Saturday and Sunday. Rain chances are slim but not impossible one could find you with a brief downpour. A cold front is still on track to arrive at the end of next week. Rain and cooler air should arrive Thursday or Friday with some areas of Southeast Texas feeling temperatures in the 50s and 60s.

Rina and Philippe are still churning in the Atlantic. These named storms are not giving up yet. Expect to be hearing more about them through the weekend.

Muggy this morning, then partly cloudy and hot with highs in the mid 90s. A few showers are possible.

Two tropical storms are sitting side by side in the central Atlantic, Tropical Storm Philippe and newly formed Tropical Storm Rina just to the east of Philippe. Both systems are expected to remain tropical storms for the next 5 days and not head toward SE Texas. Things are quiet for now across the rest of the Atlantic Basin. But with two more months to go in hurricane season, make sure to stay alert for possible development with water temperatures in the Gulf, Caribbean & Atlantic still super warm.

Chief Michael Iscovitz said "Even though October is in sight, we are still locked into a hot pattern with highs running about 5-10? above average. Expect a few late-day storms with heat index values near 100 each day. So, when is a real cold front coming? There appears to be a good chance late next week! We could feel some 50s, so stay tuned for updates".

Air Quality Alert for higher ozone levels has been extended until Thursday evening for the Houston area. Isolated to spotty showers and storms are expected through the end of the work week. Severe weather is not expected, but a few storms could contain some strong gusty wind and brief heavy rain. Rain chances get even lower for the weekend and go away by Monday and Tuesday of next week. As we get closer to October, the summer heat will hang on even though it is officially fall. Look for temperatures to remain above average through early next week in the middle 90s.

The Gulf of Mexico remains quiet, with no tropical activity headed towards SE Texas. But the Atlantic is still busy with Tropical Storm Philippe approaching the Lesser Antilles and Puerto Rico. Philippe should get close to the Northern Leeward Islands and Puerto Rico by this weekend, with 2-4" rain potential. But Philippe is forecast to lose tropical characteristics and weaken to a remnant low by this weekend. A tropical wave in the east-central Atlantic still has a high chance of becoming a tropical depression or possibly Tropical Storm Rina over the next day or two.

Look for another day of heat and humidity for Southeast Texas. Houston will continue to see temperatures in the lower 90s for the rest of the week. These above average temperatures are expected to continue into the start of October. The weekend looks to have a few less showers and a degree or two warmer.
