FOX 26 Houston Weather Forecast
There is a high rip current risk for Galveston and surrounding beaches through this evening. Be very cautious if you plan to go for a swim at the beach. Humidity is increasing across the area with isolated rain expected to return the next few days. Rain chances will be limited to 20% through Saturday with a higher chance for rain coming Sunday, Monday and Tuesday. Temperatures will likely stay a bit above average in the middle 90s the rest of this week. But with more rain around early next week, we'll shave a few degrees off those temperatures and come back down to the low 90s. Fall officially begins early Saturday morning but that summertime pattern will still be holding strong for Houston.

Tropical Weather Forecast - September 20, 2023
Hurricane Nigel is a bit weaker but is still a category one hurricane now to the NE of Bermuda. It is expected to quickly move farther away from the US losing tropical characteristics by this weekend. Two other areas are being monitored for possible tropical development. One area is off of the east coast of Florida and has a 40% chance for development over the next 7 days. A potential tropical or subtropical area of low pressure is expected to develop that could bring some heavy rain and strong winds to parts of the Carolinas and Mid-Atlantic by this weekend. Another tropical wave has pushed off the west coast of Africa with a high chance to become a tropical depression or storm by this weekend. The next two names on the list are Ophelia and Philippe.

Tropical Weather Forecast - September 19, 2023
We remain in what is typically a very active period of hurricane season. There are no tropical systems heading towards SE Texas. But Hurricane Nigel has grown to a Category 2 Hurricane east of Bermuda. Nigel is not a threat to the US as it will race NE later this week and track up close to Iceland by early next week! A non-tropical low could form along the east coast of Florida the next few days. This low could become subtropical. Regardless it will bring the threat for some heavy rain & gusty wind to Florida & the Carolinas. Another Tropical wave coming off the west coast of Africa has a high chance to develop into a tropical storm or hurricane. The next name on the list is Ophelia.

Fox26 Monday weather forecast
A pattern change has arrived, and rain looks likely for the next few days. Our long-lived "heat dome" has dissipated and a more active jet stream pattern will replace it through at least Saturday. A few heavy downpours are possible from late today through Thursday and Friday. High temps should be held to at or even below average which will be a nice break. Today is the 15th anniversary of Hurricane Ike making landfall in Galveston, but we are currently not under any tropical threats.
