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.

Air Quality Alert for higher ozone levels has been issued for the Houston area for Wednesday. Expect more heat and humidity with temperatures climbing to the low to middle 90s for the rest of the week. This is above average for late September. Above normal temperatures are expected to extend into at least the first week of October. Isolated to spotty PM rain & a few storms will stick around through the weekend with drier weather returning early next week. Tropical Storm Philippe and another tropical wave are being monitored in the Atlantic. But nothing is expected to threaten SE Texas through this week.

Most of Southeast Texas received needed rain on Monday as a weak front crawled across Houston. That front has stalled just off the coast and will stay around for a couple more days keeping showers in the forecast. High pressure builds across Texas at the end of the week. Look for rain chances to decrease for the weekend and temperatures will continue to run above average.

Things remain quiet for SE Texas with no tropical activity expected to impact us through this week. However, Philippe remains a tropical storm in the central Atlantic with 45 mph winds and it is expected to get close to the Lesser Antilles and Puerto Rico by this weekend. By then it should weaken to a post-tropical remnant low. A strong tropical wave in the eastern Atlantic has a high chance to become the next tropical depression or storm over the next few days. Rina would be the next name for our next tropical storm or hurricane.
