Staying hot for the last week of summer
HOUSTON, Texas (KTRK) -- Scattered storms may impact our northern counties early tonight. They should by and large fizzle before they make it to the Houston area. Chances for the metro will hover between 10% and 20%, mainly before midnight.
We still have just enough moisture around for an isolated storm on Monday, mainly during the middle afternoon hours.
Do you expect those summertime temperatures to continue?
Yep. A late summer heat ridge will keep us hot during the last week of summer. High temperatures should remain at or above 90 degrees for the next 10 days. Thankfully, we don't foresee any 100-degree days, but the combination of heat and humidity could put the heat index into the triple digits.
How long will we have to wait for our first fall front?
At least 10 days...if not longer. There are hints that a "baby" fall front could roll in just after the start of astronomical fall on September 22, but we wouldn't get too excited over those prospects just yet.
What are you tracking in the tropics?
Tropical Depression Gordon formed over the weekend and Potential Storm 8 could develop off the east Coast this week, but neither pose a threat to the Gulf. Head to our daily Tropical Update page for the latest on what's happening in the tropics.
