Francine's Approach | Fox 26 Houston Weather Forecast

Francine is not going to make a direct hit on Texas, but a tropical storm watch remains in effect for all of our coastal areas due to the risk of coastal flooding, very rough surf, and wind gusts of about 40mph. Louisiana cities like Morgan City, New Iberia, Lafayette, Baton Rouge, and New Orleans will all be at risk for hurricane-force winds and coastal areas will have a risk for dangerous storm surges. Look for off-and-on storms that will move into our coastal counties through the day today and tonight with winds increasing late today. Most cities inland like Katy, Sugar Land, Cypress, Spring, etc. will experience few significant impacts other than a strong breeze and scattered storms today and tomorrow. Beyond tomorrow, expect sunshine and very warm late summer weather for us through the weekend and early next week.
