Tonight’s Forecast:
Tonight will be warm and muggy with overnight lows only dropping to the mid-70s.
Tuesday’s Forecast:
Although it is the first full day of Fall, temperatures warm to the 90s. We will be humid with afternoon thunderstorm chances. It will be a day that feels like summer.
Tracking a cold front Wednesday night:
Wednesday afternoon and evening a cold 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:
Powerful Hurricane Gabrielle is still expected to slide east of Bermuda and out into the north Atlantic. The storms will bring some likely storm damage to the island of Bermuda but that will be the only interaction with land as it heads back out into the north Atlantic.
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 high chance of developing over the next 7 days, the other only has a medium 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.

The cool front Wednesday night 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.
