One last warm day, and then tomorrow the transition begins. Plan for a bit of a breeze as the front works its way through our area on Monday, though rain chances are looking minimal at best. Come Tuesday, a blissful less humid weather pattern sets in for the remainder of the week. Our highs will be near average, and our morning lows will actually be slightly below! In the tropics, Ian is set to rapidly intensify today eventually becoming a major hurricane before impacting Florida midweek. There are no concerns for Texas, and things in the rest of the Atlantic basin continue to fizzle out.

Houston will end the weekend a lot as it started. Sunday morning will see temperatures in the mid-70s with afternoon highs in the mid-90s. The abnormally hot September weather gradually fades as we move through the week. Look for conditions to seem more appropriate for the calendar starting on Wednesday.

Your Saturday Morning Forecast with Meteorologist Lena Maria Arango

Fall may be late to the party, but is scheduled to make a fashionably late arrival by middle of next week. We have an approaching cold front to thank for that, which will also help to keep now Tropical Storm Ian east of southeast Texas. Until then, though toasty temps remain for your weekend plans. The presence of high pressure leading into the arrival of the front means that we don't have much moisture to work with. So, we won't see much in the way of rain over the course of the next week.

Strong ridge of high pressure over Texas will mean the threat for more record high temperatures Saturday in the middle to upper 90s. That high breaks down through by next week allowing a cold front to swing through bringing slightly cooler air and small rain chances. That front should also help to steer Tropical Depression #9 away from SE TX and push it towards Florida. We are also still tracking Category 3 hurricane Fiona headed to the Canadian Maritimes, Tropical Storm Gaston impacting the Azores, newly formed Tropical Storm Hermine in the eastern Atlantic and a tropical wave in the south central Atlantic.

Tropics are super active with Category 3 hurricane Fiona headed to the Canadian Maritimes, Tropical Storm Gaston impacting the Azores, newly formed Tropical Storm Hermine in the eastern Atlantic and a tropical wave in the south central Atlantic. We are keeping a close eye on Tropical Depression #9 in the SE Caribbean which is forecast to get much stronger by early next week threatening Cuba and the Florida peninsula. It's not expected to be a threat to SE TX at this point though.

A tropical system will gain strength in the Caribbean this weekend, but a cold front moving toward Texas will most likely steer that potential hurricane away from Houston. In the meantime, expect hot sunshine and record highs today and tomorrow with the mid-90s staying with us until Monday. Early next week, a front will bring us much drier air as Florida will be drenched with heavy rain and potentially high winds.

Record heat is expected across Houston over the next few days as a strong ridge of high pressure continues to dominate our area. We will be near triple digits through Saturday with mainly dry weather. Weak cold front is expected to bring some relief next week on Monday and possibly help to steer a tropical system away from SE TX. Tropical wave in the SE Caribbean is expected to move west and has a 80-90% chance for development over the next 2-5 days. Models are projecting this will move W then NW through the Caribbean then turn north into the Gulf of Mexico next week. Models are disagreeing with where it will head once it reaches the Gulf so it is something we are monitoring closely.

Widespread power outages, downed trees and structural damage are all potential impacts of Fiona in Atlantic Canada, regardless of whether it has transitioned to a post-tropical cyclone or if it's still a hurricane.

Invest 98-L is in the SE Caribbean and has an 80% chance for development over the next 48 hours and a 90% chance for development over the next 5 days. Models are in good agreement that it will track west through the Caribbean and eventually turn NW this weekend. But after 3-4 days, models disagree on where this system will head and that means everyone along the Gulf Coast should stay weather aware and keep checking in with the FOX 26 Weather Team daily. It still appears a front will dip down early next week and try to steer the system NE but there are several factors that are in play that could change the strength and track of this developing system. Once it gets going, it will have plenty of warm water and a low-shear environment for quick strengthening so it's something to pay close attention to. Fiona is still a major hurricane with 130 mph winds headed close to Bermuda tonight where hurricane warnings are in effect. Gaston is still a tropical storm with 65 mph winds which could bring some heavy rain and strong winds to the Azores.

"Fall" begins on a toasty note, with potentially record-breaking heat lingering into the weekend. A cool front will pull in more seasonable, refreshing temperatures and drier air for next week. It also may help act as a boundary, to steer away a developing tropical system. For the latest on that, and all other happenings in the Atlantic visit the tropics tab on our website and our in-depth discussions on YouTube.

There are three headlines in our forecast over the next 7 days: 1st, record hot temperatures for the start of the fall season. 2nd, a likely tropical storm or hurricane in the Caribbean this weekend. 3rd, a cold front early next week that will bring a nice cooldown for us and could also deflect the aforementioned tropical system. We'll keep you updated on the progress of the low in the Caribbean.
