Houston weather: Warm temperatures to continue on Thursday
Drought conditions are developing state and areawide and communities west of Houston are finding themselves in moderate drought conditions. Houston proper is not yet in a drought, but it is abnormally dry. Dry vegetation is leading to an increased risk for brushfires, so be very cautious with any outdoor burning until conditions change. Some counties in the FOX 26 area are now under a burn ban. Lower humidity values also lead to an increase in fire danger. An update to the drought monitor will come out tomorrow morning which will likely put more areas across Southeast Texas in drought conditions.

Jerry will make a sharp turn to the north before reaching Puerto Rico and should get fairly close to Bermuda early next week. Another tropical wave that was near the Yucatan peninsula has tracked into the SW Gulf. It does not appear to be a threat to Houston but we will be watching it closely.
