Over the last 170 years of data, today, September 10th is the average peak of hurricane season. So, on average, today is the day with the highest likelihood for tropical storms and hurricanes. This year, however, conditions are very quiet in the Atlantic with no named storms or hurricanes for now. As of today, the national hurricane center is monitoring a new tropical wave coming off of the West Coast of Africa. It currently has a low chance for tropical development as it moves towards the west.

Beautiful and cool Wednesday morning, then things turn hot as we move into the afternoon and it heats up to the 90s. There's going to be a bit more humidity moving in tomorrow and Friday.

The taste of fall will be short lived with lows Tuesday night in the upper 60s and, with a southeast wind (Gulf breeze) returning late Wednesday, humidity will not be far behind. By late this week and into the weekend, look for muggy mornings and warmer, more humid days. The extended forecast looks warm even into next week.

In the Atlantic, conditions remain unusually calm with no significant tropical waves and models that don't show much happening over the next week. A tropical storm named Kiko will pass well north of Hawaii today and the main threats will be large waves and rip currents. In the Eastern Pacific, models are showing a high chance for another tropical system to develop off of the Southwestern coast of Mexico late this week into the weekend.

It's the coolest morning we've had in months with temps dropping to the 70s Tuesday morning. Don't get too comfortable as things will heat up once we get some sunshine and highs reach the 90s.

We have a slight taste of fall in place, so that means less humidity and cooler mornings will bring us a treat for the next 48 hours or so. Lows hit the 60s and low 70s Monday morning, but we expect widespread 60s Monday night, even some cool low 60s! The afternoons will still be very warm with highs in the upper 80s and low 90s. Air Quality Alert for higher ozone levels has been issued for Tuesday.

The tropics remain very quiet, but a weak area of low pressure is bringing more rain to Florida today. It's not expected to affect Texas. The tropical disturbance we were watching last week, Invest 91L, fizzled as it moved into the Caribbean running into very dry air. Even though the Atlantic basin is very quiet right now, keep in mind that the peak of hurricane season is just a few days away. So review your hurricane safety preparedness and always stay alert.

You need a battery-operated light in your hurricane kit, but it doesn't have to be a traditional handheld flashlight. FOX 26 Meteorologist John Dawson shows us the BioLite Range 500 Headlamp.

We're getting a brief taste of fall Monday morning as temperatures cool down a bit. Sunshine will begin to peek through during the afternoon with lower humidity and bring highs to the 90s.
