Where is Fall?

Unfortunately, a good chunk of the United States is still experiencing way above average temperatures for the rest of this week and honestly, most of next week as well! We’re still seeing 90s here across Texas and 80s for areas that usually don’t see temps this warm this late into summer/early fall.

Tracking the tropics:

The Caribbean and The Gulf of Mexico are quiet for now, but there is a 40% chance a tropical system develops in the Gulf over the next seven days.

By this weekend, the tropical cluster will be entering the Gulf of Mexico and may get better organized. We’ll keep you updated daily on how this system is coming along. Regardless, we’ll likely see some showers and thunderstorms from some of the tropical moisture moving across the area this weekend.

Our next small chance of rain is Friday, lasting through the weekend. A cold front moves through on Monday that will drop our highs to the 80s and lows into the lower-60s. No major cold front coming anytime soon, but we’re always watching out for it!
