HOUSTON, Texas (KTRK) — Fall begins this weekend, but it will continue to feel more like summer for the foreseeable future. There is a front in the forecast next week that should drop the humidity, and we’ll also have to keep a watchful eye on a tropical low entering the Gulf of Mexico.
Any fog that developed early Saturday morning should lift quickly by mid-morning with a bright and sunny day to follow. Temperatures will once again soar into the mid 90s during the afternoon with a heat index that could make it feel like the triple digits. Dont forget sunscreen and to stay hydrated if you plan to be out and about on the last day of summer!
How long do you expect these summertime temperatures to continue?
High temperatures should remain at or above 90 degrees for the next 10 days, but we do see some humidity relief late next week behind a weak cool front that could approach Southeast Texas midweek next week.
How long will we have to wait for our first real taste of fall air?
At this time, it looks like we’ll have to wait until the first week of October for any chance of a meaningful cool front to visit us here in Southeast Texas, but next week’s front should at least drop the humidity and bring us some mornings in the 60s by next weekend.
What are you tracking in the tropics?
We continue to see signs that a tropical low could lift out of the Caribbean and into the Gulf next week. There are a lot of scenarios on the table for what it could do and where it could go, so our best advice right now is to simply stay weather aware until we get a better handle on where it is most likely to track.
