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 a tad, and we'll also have to keep a watchful eye on a tropical low entering the Gulf of Mexico.
Temperatures Saturday evening will fall from the low 90s to low 70s overnight under a mostly clear sky. And the first day of fall will feel more like summer Sunday with afternoon highs back in the mid 90s, a heat index near 100 degrees and lots of sunshine. There is the chance for a spot shower to pass by you Sunday with the help of a sea breeze, but it's only a 10% chance at this time.
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.
Any promising rain chances in the near future?
A cold front will approach Southeast Texas Tuesday and Wednesday of next week. And while this front won't bring the first taste of fall this time, it could help produce some showers and storms each day depending on when the front arrives. This front will also probably not make it to the coast, but there is a 30% chance for rain for everyone both Tuesday and Wednesday.
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.
