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.
Overnight we expect lows to again only dip into the mid 70s with a touch of patchy fog on the ground around sunrise, especially outside of Houston. Temperatures will once again soar into the mid numbers during the afternoon. Ou average high for Saturday is 89 degrees.
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 arriving on Wednesday.
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.
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.
