2024 vs. previous hurricane seasons
With only nine days left in the 2024 hurricane season, the tropics are finally calming down. National Hurricane Center does not anticipate any tropical cyclone activity over the next few days. Water temperatures are finally starting to get cooler in the Gulf of Mexico and Atlantic. That lessens the chance for more tropical development. Hurricane season ends on November 30th.

Houston weather forecast for Nov. 21: Cold temperatures, look at Thanksgiving
Temperatures this morning are the coldest in eight months, but we'll have another sunny, dry and pleasant day.
FOX 26 Houston weather: Nov. 21 forecast
Temperatures this morning are the coldest since March 19- slightly more than eight months ago. But we'll have another sunny, dry and pleasant day. Friday looks very similar, but a south wind returns this weekend bringing a gradual warm-up with increasing humidity. Highs should return to the 80s for Sunday and Monday with mild air leading up to Thanksgiving. For Thanksgiving Day, it's still a tough call. There will be a cold front moving in either on Thanksgiving or possibly the day after, so it is possible that weather next Thursday could be breezy and chilly. So far, rain doesn't look heavy, but a few showers are possible. On the West Coast, a so-called "bomb cyclone" in the Pacific Ocean is pulling in a river of moisture into northern California with a high risk for flooding.
FOX 26 Houston Weather Forecast
Thanks to two cold fronts this week, temperatures are finally below average today with the coolest weather so far this season expected tonight! It will be breezy through early evening with wind gusts out of the north near 30 miles per hour. But the wind starts to settle down tonight. With clear skies and not as much wind, expect temperatures to dip into the upper 30s to low 40s by Thursday morning. Expect temperatures in Houston to climb back to near 70 for Thursday afternoon before dropping back to the 40s again Friday morning. Warmer temps return this weekend and early next week with a slim shot for rain Tuesday and Wednesday. Early look at Thanksgiving shows that we may have a cool front that will drop temperatures back to near 70 and keep a few showers around for Thanksgiving Day.

Tropics calm down, 10 days left in hurricane season
With just ten days left in the 2024 Atlantic basin hurricane season, we are finally seeing conditions calm down. No tropical cyclone activity is expected over the next few days in the Atlantic Ocean, Caribbean Sea or Gulf of Mexico. Moisture left over from what used to be Tropical Storm Sara combined with a cold front continues to bring some rain to parts of Florida. But that unsettled weather should start winding down by tonight. It's been an above normal hurricane season with 18 named storms, 11 hurricanes and 5 major hurricanes. Let's hope this last 10 days remains super quiet!
