Here's when record highs could finally fall
We're looking ahead to when record high temperatures could finally fall, plus what to expect on the first day of fall.

HOUSTON, Texas (KTRK) -- The calendar might say fall begins on Sunday, but the weather has not gotten the memo. Record highs could fall Thursday and Friday as temperatures soar into the upper 90s.

Temperatures Thursday should climb to the upper 90s in the middle of the afternoon. Houston's record high of 97 degrees from 1995 is in jeopardy of falling.

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 on the way next week.

How long will we have to wait for our first fall front?

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 storm could lift out of the Caribbean and into the Gulf late next week. Head to our daily Tropical Update page for the latest on what's happening in the tropics.
