Officially, it's fall but it still feels like summer in southeast Texas. Beyhivers will have to battle some heat and humidity heading down to NRG, but rain will be very isolated until late Sunday. Things then take a bit more of a soggy turn through middle of next week. That will take an edge off of temperatures, but we'll still be on the seasonably warm side. Tropical Storm Ophelia made landfall along the Emerald Isle of North Carolina this morning, with another named storm soon likely in the central Atlantic.
