Fall is Here but it doesn’t feel like it:
At 1:19 PM Monday it’s the official start of Fall. This is when the direct rays of the sun are over the equator. To learn more about the autumnal equinox click here. You’ll also find out why it takes much longer to get cooler temperatures in Houston.
Although it is the first day of Fall, temperatures warm to the 90s. Monday to Wednesday temperatures will range from the lower to mid-90s. Every afternoon has a chance for thunderstorms to form.
Monday SE Texas can also expect rain and isolated thunderstorm chances mainly south of I-10 starting in the morning with another round possible in the afternoon.
Tracking a cool front Thursday:
Thursday a cool front moves through Houston. This isn’t a particularly strong front so we won’t see a drastic drop in temperatures but it will bring drier air for the end of the week and into parts of the weekend. Enjoy the lower humidity to end the work week!
Tropical outlook:
Hurricane Gabrielle is still expected to slide east of Bermuda and out into the north Atlantic. It will briefly become a major hurricane Tuesday as it moves northeast.
There are two tropical waves in the Atlantic stirring up disorganized thunderstorms. They will have to overcome wind shear to form into anything organized. One has a 50% chance of developing over the next 7 days, the other only has a 20% chance.
Make sure your family is prepared for whatever comes our way this hurricane season. You can check out our 2025 Hurricane and Flood Survival Guide here.
Your extended forecast:
The cool front Thursday lowers temperatures into the 80s Thursday and Friday. Mornings fall to the upper 60s Friday and Saturday. It will feel great with lower humidity those two days. The humidity starts to climb next weekend.
