A Flood Watch is in effect for all of our coastal counties through Friday morning. The rain is coming from low pressure in the Gulf. If this low travels north, rain amounts will be higher in Houston.

Our first cool front of the season arrives Saturday:

We get our first taste of fall weather this weekend. A cold front moves through southeast Texas early Saturday. While highs are still in the upper 80s, mornings will be much cooler in the 60s with low humidity! Dew points, the level of moisture in the atmosphere, lower dramatically taking us from sticky to comfortable, falling from the mid-70s to the 50s and 40s! Sunday morning is when you’ll feel the crispness in the air.

Look at the long-range forecast for the United States. Houston is expected to be below average September 9th through the 13th. We are in for a nice stretch of early September weather to finally welcome the Texans back at NRG for football season!

Tracking The Tropics:

The National Hurricane Center is monitoring four regions that have a chance of becoming Tropical Storm Francine in the Atlantic basin. The four areas have a 10%-30% chance of development in the next seven days. The highest chance of development (30%) is the disturbance moving toward the Bay of Campeche. Right now there is a 10% chance this system moves into the northern Gulf of Mexico. Most data next week suggests this slowly moves into Mexico. We’ll keep you posted on this.
