Houston weather: Sept. 27 morning forecast

Dry and pleasant conditions are expected to persist through the weekend and most of next week.

Refreshing mornings, afternoons still warm

Weather in the Houston area continues to be sunny and dry thanks to the front that moved through on Thursday. 

Early mornings will dip into the 60s inland, with coastal areas staying slightly warmer. 

By afternoon, highs should top out near 90, but with lower humidity making things feel nice and comfortable. 

Lower humidity values decrease our chances of spotty scattered showers.

Similar weather continues for a week

Dry and pleasant conditions are expected to persist through the weekend and most of next week. 

Nights will remain clear and pleasant inland while daytime highs should stay in the upper 80s and low 90s. 

The only issue will be the chance for ozone air pollution through the weekend and possibly into the start of next week. 

This phenomenon is very common on sunny days with light winds. It is mainly a concern for people with very sensitive lungs.

Tropics quiet for Gulf, active in Atlantic

There are currently no tropical threats expected for the Gulf in the near term, but in the Atlantic, it's a much different story. 

Hurricane Humberto is strengthening in the Atlantic and has become the third major hurricane of the season — the storm could stall between the US East Coast and Bermuda next week. Humberto is expected to reach category 5 status. 

Potential Tropical Cyclone Nine has formed near Cuba and will soon become Tropical Storm Imelda. Our models (including the GFS, Euro and Fox Weather Model) show that it could strike the Carolinas as a potent system early-mid next week. 

Some uncertainty remains as models are also showing this system could stall just off the coast. Nonetheless, flooding is a major concern for the Carolinas going into this week. Tropical storm warnings have already been issued for the Central Bahamas.
