What's the rest of the weekend look like?

Temperatures Saturday evening will fall from the upper 80s to upper 60s overnight. The refreshing low dewpoint temperatures are to thank for that! And the lower humidity will stay put all day Sunday, helping keep the sky clear with lots of sunshine and afternoon highs just below 90 degrees.

What are you tracking in the tropics?

In addition to the low pressure just offshore from Texas, we are also closely monitoring a tropical wave over the western Caribbean. It has a 60% chance of development once it reaches the Bay of Campeche early next week, but it will combine its moisture with the low pressure near Texas. This moisture will pull north toward Texas and Louisiana to bring back higher rain chances with the possibility of flooding around Tuesday and Wednesday. There's also a chance for tropical development so those days have been designated as Weather Alert Days. Head to our daily Tropical Update page for the latest on what's happening in the tropics.
