Mid-90s heat & lunar eclipse tonight | Fox 26 Houston Weather Forecast

After another day in the mid 90s, our late summer heat wave continues today and will be with us for the rest of the week. Rain chances are only isolated at best each day for the next week or so and temperatures will run about 5 degrees above average. Texas will be one of the hottest areas in the country today as well. We have two tropical systems currently, but neither is a threat to Texas. Yesterday, Potential Tropical Cyclone #8 made landfall near the state line of South and North Carolina without being upgraded to Helene. Torrential rainfall caused serious flooding with rainfall totals in excess of 12" across a large swath of North Carolina. Finally, a partial lunar eclipse will be visible tonight after sunset. These types of eclipses are often not very exciting, but if conditions are just right, the moon may appear to have an orange hue after around 9pm.
