Tropical storms forming | Fox 26 Houston Weather Forecast

After record or near record highs on Monday, today will bring more hot sunshine with highs in the mid 90s. Rain looks unlikely until the Friday-Saturday time frame when we'll have a combination of a cold front moving in and a plume of tropical moisture nearby. The timing and location is uncertain, but we'll keep an eye on Saturday as having our best rain chances. As far as tropical development, the Gulf of Mexico looks like it will be somewhat unsettled and chaotic for the next week or so. There will be several areas of stormy weather and an occasional small low forming - when all is said and done, there is a good chance for a tropical depression or possible storm in the central Gulf, but it doesn't look like it would move toward the Houston area. Elsewhere in the Atlantic Ocean, Kirk formed yesterday and will become the season's next hurricane with another wave possibly becoming Leslie today or tomorrow. Neither is a threat to land.
