HOUSTON, Texas (KTRK) -- Fall begins Sunday, 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 Sunday started off in the mid 70s and we'll heat up into the mid 90s by the afternoon under partly cloudy skies. 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.
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.
A cold front will approach Southeast Texas Tuesday and Wednesday of this 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.
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.
