Tonight’s Forecast:
HOUSTON – Wednesday morning Brenham was 49° and Houston hit 64° but on Tuesday we will be much warmer to start. A warm front has quickly returned humidity and warm conditions to SE Texas, so expect to start our day in the mid-70s.

Thursday’s Forecast:
We will begin to feel a bit more humid again on Thursday. Expect to see more cloud cover with afternoon shower chances, especially to the west. Highs will be in the mid-80s.
Hurricane Rafael:
Rafael became a major hurricane on Wednesday afternoon before making landfall in Cuba. It is now entering the SE Gulf of Mexico. This is the first hurricane in the Gulf in November since 1985 (nearly 40 years!).
Rafael will move into the Central Gulf but will be influenced by a cold front that will block Texas. This will steer the storm either south to Mexico, or east into the Southeast. Neither scenario has direct impacts to SE Texas outside of elevated rip currents and rough seas.
10-day Forecast:
The same front steering Rafael east of Texas will also bring cooler temperatures to Houston by Sunday. Another cold front is expected next Wednesday, and this one could be our strongest fall front yet. We’ll keep you updated.
