It has been 59 days since the last named storm in the Atlantic basin. Tropical Danielle has arrived and wants to be a hurricane!

The work week ends on a pretty typical note: partly cloudy, humid with daily afternoon scattered showers or storms. But get ready for another bumpy ride over the long holiday weekend, where rounds of heavy rain will be possible. Tropical Storm Danielle has formed in the north Atlantic Ocean and will not impact the United States in any way, but it's our first named system since Colin over July 4th weekend, 59 days ago.

August brought quite the change of pace marking the 10th wettest on record (as measured at Bush Airport) and breaking the trend of excessive heat. September will begin with more of the same - very warm, humid air with pop up afternoon storms. Friday looks similar, but the combination of a stationary front and deep tropical moisture should lead to hefty rain for all three days of the Labor Day weekend. Finally, after the first August since 1997 without a named tropical system, this morning Tropical Depression #5 formed in the north Atlantic Ocean and is no threat to the United States.

Houston should see less coverage of afternoon storms to end the work week. There will be isolated downpours around southeast Texas but most will be short lived. The holiday weekend will bring higher rain chances so plan accordingly if you have outdoor plans. The rainy pattern should continue into next week.

August 2022 reminds me of the 1961 Hurricane Season. Do you remember how September looked back then? Currently, there is much to discuss in the Atlantic Ocean.

It's been a calm 2022 hurricane season thus far, but will it stay that way? Chief Meteorologist Mike Iscovitz chats with Fox Weather hurricane specialist Bryan Norcross on whether we should be worried and the lessons we should take from Hurricane Carla in 1961.

Today is setting up to be a bit different than yesterday with much hotter conditions and storms holding off until the afternoon. We'll keep a good chance for scattered storms around for Thursday and Friday as well. A plume of tropical moisture is expected this weekend, so heavy rain does look likely with a generally unsettled pattern for next week. In the tropics, if the National Hurricane Center does not name any storms today (and it's not likely), this would be the first year since 1997 with no named storms.

The rainy pattern continues for Southeast Texas. Expect a few heavy downpours to cause some short term problems in some isolated spots. Your plans for the holiday weekend should include some possible rain. It is not a complete washout but there will definitely be some showers around Houston at times.

The Atlantic remains active with tropical waves but still no tropical cyclones yet for August.
