FOX 26 Houston Weather Forecast

It's been 23 days straight of triple digit heat but things are about to change...at least for one day! Tropical Depression Nine has popped up in the Gulf of Mexico and is expected to become Tropical Storm Harold either tonight or early Tuesday. It should make landfall in south Texas south of Corpus Christi Tuesday morning. So most of the rain and stronger wind should stay away from Houston. But spotty downpours and a few strong storms are still possible during the day Tuesday. Greatest impacts will be felt around coastal areas of Matagorda & Jackson counties where a Tropical Storm Watch is in effect. There will be a higher rip current risk and small craft advisory in place for coastal areas as this tropical system brushes by. It's back to triple digit heat for the rest of the week and little to no rain with record heat likely by Thursday.
