HOUSTON, Texas (KTRK) — If you think this weather is great… just wait!
That fall feeling is finally here, and it will stick around all weekend long.
What are we expecting for the weekend?
This weekend will feature the coolest weather southeast Texas has seen in five months, especially Sunday. Morning lows Sunday will drop into the mid 50s, which is the first time the region will be below 60 degrees in over 150 days (May 1st). The refreshing fall weather will stick around for Monday too, it’ll just be a tad warmer in the afternoon as we climb back into the 80s.
Is Texas done with the hurricane season?
At this time, no tropical development is expected in the Gulf in the next seven days, and we’re nearing the latest date on record a hurricane has made landfall in Texas, which is October 15. Based on the projected steering currents over the Gulf and the resulting high wind shear, we are likely in the clear from any direct hits. That said, we’re entering the time of year when we have to pay closer attention to what’s happening in the Pacific since those storms can recurve into Mexico and send heavy rains to Texas. That very well may happen next week as two tropical systems in the Pacific get scooped up by the jet stream. For the latest on Atlantic Tropical Storm Philippe, head to our Tropical Update page.
