Saturday’s Forecast:

HOUSTON – After two fantastically fall days in Houston, temperatures climb this weekend. We start with the thermometer ranging from the 50s to mid-60s, while Galveston, starts the day in the 70s. Under partly cloudy skies, our high in Houston reaches the mid-80s, making for a gorgeous start to the weekend.

Sunday’s forecast:

There isn’t much of a change to the forecast Sunday. The humidity will go up a touch but nothing major.

We need rain!

For the first time in a year, Houston, and most of southeast Texas are back in a drought. It’s a moderate drought and conditions will get worse through the next two weeks with not much rain in the forecast. For more on our drought and our upcoming winter click here.

Tracking the Tropics:

Potential tropical cyclone fifteen formed Friday afternoon. It is moving due west and will bring heavy rain to Central America. It could also become tropical storm Nadine before it makes land Saturday afternoon.

Hurricane season runs through November 30th, but in recorded history SE Texas has never had a storm hit past October 15th. The reason is our cold fronts block storms from moving north. Fronts steer them east. We’ll probably have a few more storms but if they hit the United States it will be along the east coast.

10-day Forecast:

No rain in the forecast and there are also several days we get near 90°.
