Tropical Storm Karl has formed in the southern Gulf of Mexico. Direct impacts from Karl are not expected but some moisture from Karl may stream into SE Texas over the next few days. A cold front will also approach from the north bringing a chance for spotty showers and storms Wednesday through early Thursday. That front will usher in slightly cooler temperatures late week. Then a stronger front moves in early next week with a better shot for rain and storms. That front will have it feeling a lot more like fall by next Tuesday.

Look for another mild day in Houston on Tuesday. Increasing humidity will lead to partly cloudy skies and a warm afternoon. A weak front will move through southeast Texas late Wednesday into early Thursday morning. That front will not impact temperatures much but should bring a few showers. A stronger front arrives at the end of the weekend.

It's a beautiful start to the week with lots of sunshine and warm temperatures. Moisture will increase by Tuesday and Wednesday ahead of a weak cold front that arrives early Thursday. A 30-40% chance for showers will be with us Midweek. A stronger cold front arrives late Sunday into early Monday that could bring more widespread rain and a bigger drop in temperatures. Julia is no longer a tropical cyclone but is bringing heavy rain to parts of Guatemala and S. Mexico. Another disturbance over the Yucatan Peninsula has a low chance for development over the next few days.

Notice days getting shorter in October? Here's how much daylight we've lost

We lose anywhere from 40 minutes to upwards of 90 minutes of daylight in October as the days quickly become shorter and the nights grow longer.

Tropical Weather Forecast - October 10, 2022

Julia is no longer a hurricane, tropical storm or depression. Remnants of Julia are located over S. Mexico and Guatemala producing heavy rain and 30 mph winds. It is expected to dissipate tonight but a chunk of it could break off, head to the eastern Pacific and possibly develop into a new system. Chances for that are low. There's also another disturbance over the Yucatan Peninsula with a low chance to track into the southern Gulf of Mexico and develop into a tropical cyclone. There's a 20% chance of this happening over the next 2-5 days.

Another pleasant day, with lots of sunshine Monday
video

Starting off the week with a continuation of our near perfect streak of weather. Onshore flow will slowly return, with building humidity by the middle of the week. As we transition towards those more humid conditions, we may squeeze out a sprinkle or brief shower Tuesday. Chances have decreased some for midweek rain, but some showers still look to be about as a weak front slides through overnight Wednesday into Thursday morning. That will lead to a dry start to the weekend, with some more showers possible on Sunday. Models continue to hint at a more potent front arriving on the 16th/17th so we'll keep our eyes on that and fine tune details as things draws closer.

Sunday night leading into Monday morning weather forecast

A cool front is on the way, but we'll have to wait until Thursday night to feel the arrival of refreshing air. In the meantime, expect warm days with a slight increase in humidity Monday and Tuesday. Our best chance for showers comes along with the front from late Wednesday into Thursday morning. Otherwise, our weather looks pretty quiet. Hurricane Julia hit Nicaragua overnight Saturday and brought very heavy rain - the system will cross Central America and will briefly maintain its status as Tropical Storm Julia in the Pacific ocean before weakening along the coast of Guatemala and Mexico.
