Weather

We begin transitioning toward a more humid, showery weather pattern as we head into the weekend. But, it's not going to stick around for long. Rain chances will taper as we head into next week, with a ridge of the high-pressure building. Toasty sunshine returns by the middle of next week. In the Atlantic, Tropical Storm Fiona is set to bring impacts to portions of the Caribbean before turning out to sea.

Hopefully, you enjoyed the low(er) humidity because here comes the moisture! Breezes out of the east, eventually turning southerly will bring a noticeable increase in humidity as we close out the week. Along with that, rain chances will also be on the rise. It won't be a washout, but a few downpours and thunderstorms will also be in the mix over the weekend. Heading into next week, we dry out and warm up. In the tropics, our 6th named storm of the season has formed. Tropical Storm Fiona, however, is not expected to impact the Gulf.

Thursday will start the transition back to a more humid pattern for Houston headed into the weekend. Expect some showers and thunderstorms scattered across Southeast Texas over the weekend. For the latest on the new tropical cyclone in the Atlantic, check out our FOX 26 YouTube Channel.

Remember when George Costanza came up with a name for his child? Well, SEVEN has formed in the Atlantic. Let's discuss how long it will take to become Fiona.

One last day of blissful weather, and then tomorrow we begin to transition to a more humid pattern heading into the weekend. A few showers and storms south of I-10 are possible Thursday. More coverage of scattered showers and storms will be around Friday-Sunday, so something to keep an eye on for outdoor plans. There is a new Tropical Depression in the Atlantic, but it is not a concern for the Gulf.

What a wonderful Wednesday weather forecast! This morning's temperatures were the coolest since late May and the afternoon will be great with sunshine and warm, dry air. A front returns from the south tomorrow, so storms will be possible, especially south of Houston. A showery pattern is expected for Friday and the weekend with scattered storms possible and highs in the upper 80s. The tropics remain quiet with only one tropical wave to watch far from Texas and it should be slow to develop.

One more day of slightly lower humidity for Houston on Wednesday. As we move towards the weekend, Gulf moisture returns to Southeast Texas. More clouds and showers return for the weekend. There could be an isolated heavy downpour on Friday or Saturday mixed in with the afternoon showers. The rainy pattern lingers for the start of the work week.

Beautiful, almost fall-like weather is in place and temperatures this morning reached the 60s in many spots and will likely do the same tonight. Afternoon temperatures will remain very warm, but with comfortable humidity. A front that moved through and brought this drier air will return as a warm front beginning Thursday, so rain chances will increase and the rainiest days appear to be Friday and Saturday. Today marks the anniversary of Hurricane Ike's impact on our area, but this year's quiet pattern continues for now.

Lower humidity levels continue to settle into southeast Texas behind Sunday's weak front. Houston should see lots of sunshine for the next couple of days. Towards the end of the week look for more humidity and rain chances to return to the area.

Overall still quiet in the Atlantic but the National Hurricane Center as identified two tropical waves for possible development.

If you live near the Gulf Coast, you need a hurricane kit. But you don't have to build it from scratch. There are companies that have done the work for you. In this Hurricane Gear Test, Meteorologist John Dawson shows us a survival kit designed for those in hurricane-prone areas.

We're off to a great start this week with slightly lower humidity, mostly sunny skies and only isolated showers mostly near the coast. Overnight lows could reach the upper 60s over the next couple of nights. Late this week, more moisture returns which should bring increasing cloud cover along with scattered showers and possible storms. The tropics remain quiet.

Monday and Tuesday morning will feel a bit different across southeast Texas with slightly drier air in place behind a week cold front that arrived to Houston Sunday. Most of the week will feel pleasant with some mornings in the upper 60s. Afternoons will be warm with afternoon highs in the lower 90s. Rain chances remain low until next weekend.
