Weather

It is a lovely start to the weekend in Houston. Wake up temperatures are in the 60s with highs in the 90s. Low humidity will continue with dry and clear skies. Enjoy this fall-like weather this weekend because we will be warming up next week. Helene is now a post-tropical cyclone. We continue to monitor widespread flooding across the Appalachians. Hurricane Isaac and Tropical Storm Joyce are churning in the open water of the Atlantic and will likely stay out to sea. There are two areas, one in the Caribbean and one in the Atlantic, with the chance for development over the next week. We will continue to monitor these areas and bring you the latest updates on the free FOX Local app.

Near perfect fall weather will continue through the weekend for the Houston area with lots of sunshine and very dry air. That means low humidity and pleasant mornings in the 60s. High temperatures this weekend should climb to the low 90s. Temperatures will heat up and humidity will increase a bit next week but low rain chances are not expected to return until late next week. An area of low pressure could develop in the western Caribbean over the next week and there's a low 30% chance of this happening. Helene is now a much weaker Post-Tropical Cyclone over Kentucky but is still dumping torrential rain across the Appalachians, Tennessee Valley & Ohio Valley. Hurricane Isaac and Tropical Storm Joyce are both in the central Atlantic but are not expected to be a threat to land at this point.

Helene is now a Post-Tropical cyclone over Kentucky with 35 mph winds after making landfall Thursday night around the Big Bend of Florida as a Category 4 140 mph hurricane. It has already dumped over 30 inches of rain across parts of North Carolina and is the cause of massive flash flooding across several states. Helene will still bring a flash flood threat across the Tennessee and Ohio Valleys as it falls apart over the weekend. Weather for Houston will be closer to perfect this weekend with pleasant mornings and warm but sunny afternoons. Temperatures will get a bit hotter next week with low rain chances returning Thursday and Friday. Hurricane Isaac and Tropical Storm Joyce are both in the central Atlantic but are not expected to be a threat to land at this point. Two areas are being monitored with a low 30% chance for tropical development over the next week. One is in the eastern Atlantic and the other is in the western Caribbean.

Allison is taking a look at the aftereffects of Hurricane Helene in Florida and the southeastern Unites States and Mike explains what's in store for the rest of hurricane season.

Houston is waking up to beautiful weather. Low humidity and clear skies will continue into the afternoon with highs reaching the low-90s. This dry air dominates our skies through the weekend. Now Tropical Storm Helene is bringing round of heavy rain with a major flood threat across the southeastern U.S. today. Along with the flooding, strong winds will be likely which could lead to even more power outages across the area.

Allison is joined by FOX's Rebekah Castor who is in Florida as Hurricane Helene is inching closer to making landfall and residents make preparations.
