The highest chances are closer to the coastline and south of Houston. The Gulf of Mexico will remain a mess all the way through next week with a broad area of low pressure and stormy weather and a good chance for a tropical depression or storm by Monday - Wednesday-ish. The system could bring heavy rain to Florida, but will be pushed away from Texas by a cold front that will bring us more lows in the 60s. Elsewhere in the Atlantic Ocean, Kirk because the season's third major hurricane and could eventually bring gusty winds to Western Europe next week.

Weekend storms possible | Fox 26 Houston Weather Forecast
Our early fall heat wave will continue today with more highs in the low to mid 90s. Expect plenty of sunshine today and Thursday with decent humidity, but high temperatures running about 5-7 degrees above average. Rain chances will increase beginning Friday and for most of Saturday as we'll end up on the edge of a plume of tropical moisture from the Gulf of Mexico. Watch for storms, especially near the coast, but no organized tropical systems are headed our way. As mentioned over the last few days, conditions in the Gulf are messy and chaotic, so one or two areas of low pressure may come together and become tropical depressions or even a tropical storm over the next 7 days - the highest chance for any impacts from those systems would be along the Gulf coast of Mexico and also in Florida. Meanwhile in the middle of the Atlantic, hurricane Kirk is gaining strength, but not threatening land. Leslie could form inthe wake of Kirk, but also will not affect land.

Tropical storms forming | Fox 26 Houston Weather Forecast
After record or near record highs on Monday, today will bring more hot sunshine with highs in the mid 90s. Rain looks unlikely until the Friday-Saturday time frame when we'll have a combination of a cold front moving in and a plume of tropical moisture nearby. The timing and location is uncertain, but we'll keep an eye on Saturday as having our best rain chances. As far as tropical development, the Gulf of Mexico looks like it will be somewhat unsettled and chaotic for the next week or so. There will be several areas of stormy weather and an occasional small low forming - when all is said and done, there is a good chance for a tropical depression or possible storm in the central Gulf, but it doesn't look like it would move toward the Houston area. Elsewhere in the Atlantic Ocean, Kirk formed yesterday and will become the season's next hurricane with another wave possibly becoming Leslie today or tomorrow. Neither is a threat to land.
Sunny and hot here | Fox 26 Houston Weather Forecast
Lots to watch in the world of weather, but most of it isn't here. We're still in our sunny, hot and dry pattern with mild mornings and afternoon highs close to records. Air quality on sunny, calm and dry days like today tend to produce ozone, so if you are very sensitive to air pollution, don't exert yourself outdoors this afternoon. There are currently three tropical systems in the Atlantic Ocean, but none are near land and should not be a concern. A tropical disturbance near the Yucatan and a general messy, unsettled pattern will form over the Gulf of Mexico over the next 7 days (at least). It does not look like the steering currents would favor anything having an impact in Texas, but we'll watch it closely. Florida could see another (less intense) tropical system from the Gulf late this week.
