Tuesday’s forecast:

After a fantastic feel this morning with dry air and mild temperatures, we’ll again heat up to near 100 degrees. The dry air feels better but highs will still hover in the upper 90s for the next few days.

Rain is back this week:

Starting Tuesday, we have a chance of rain every day through Sunday. Some days it’s low, like tomorrow, with a higher chance Thursday. By the end of the weekend we could receive an estimated .50″-1.00″ of rain.

A front will sag into Texas mid-week and stall, helping to trigger rain chances as smaller systems fly across the state through the weekend.

Hurricane Lee & Margot:

Lee is back to a Category three hurricane with 120 mph consistent winds. Lee turns north tomorrow. Long range models do not have Lee making a direct hit on the United States but it will be close. Dangerous rip currents and winds will impact the east coast.

Margot has become a Category 1 hurricane. It will not impact land. We’re still tracking two other disturbances, but these are not a threat to the Gulf of Mexico at this time.

10-Day Forecast:

We may have finally seen the end to our triple digit heat this summer. We climbed to 97 degrees both Saturday and Sunday. It will still be close as highs will stay in the upper 90s Tuesday. The latest date we hit 100° was September 27, 2005. It occurred as Hurricane Rita passed to the east of Houston. The dry north winds created the conditions to hit 100°. I do not have a triple digit temperature through Wednesday of next week.
