Tonight’s Forecast:

Overnight tonight we will see clearing skies, cooler and drier air set in with lows in the lower 60s for most.

Friday’s Forecast:

Friday will still be warm, but slightly less humid! This will help it feel much more pleasant that what we saw today. Expect partly cloudy skies with highs in the upper-80s.

Cold fronts & hurricane season:

While hurricane season doesn’t end until November 30th, It’s over for SE Texas. The reason is our fall fronts. Once we get our first strong cold front, our upper level wind pattern changes. We now get more of a consistent northerly wind which places a block on tropical systems moving into our area. With reliable records going back to the mid-1800s, we’ve never had a storm hit us past October 16th. 1991 was the year category one hurricane Jerry hit SE Texas.

10-day Forecast:

Our next strong cold front arrives Monday of next week. That front will drop our afternoon highs to the 70s with lows in the 50s!

Tracking The Tropics:
