This afternoon’s forecast is a lot like Monday’s forecast: hot, near record-breaking humidity with a chance for more rain into the evening.

This Afternoon’s Forecast:
Temperatures climb to near-record levels over the next several days, with highs landing between 92 and 94 degrees through midweek.
Record highs for these dates have stood at 94, 95, and 96 degrees since 1928, 1956, and 1962. While it’s not expected that Houston will break any records, it’s shaping up to be remarkably warm, even for early fall.
Cold front coming:
The good news is that a cool front is headed our way midweek and will drop our morning lows into the 60s.
Tracking the tropics:
Tropical Storm Jerry formed in the Atlantic 10AM Tuesday. This is expected to be a hurricane by Wednesday afternoon. It is not a threat to the Gulf coast.
Long range forecasts show it will not hit the United States, but the Windward Islands and Puerto Rico residents should keep an eye on updates. This northward turn is consistent with the pattern seen for most Atlantic storms this hurricane season, similar to Hurricane Erin and Gabrielle.
We’re also watching an area of low-pressure near the northwestern Caribbean Sea that’s producing disorganized storms and is expected to move across the Yucatan Peninsula tonight.
We’ll watch for heavy rounds of rain and gusty winds across the Yucatan, Belize and Southern Mexico the next few days.
Your extended forecast:
We’re still waiting on some actual fall weather, but nothing but lower 90s are on board for the next 10 days.
