Good Tuesday morning, everyone. I'm back to the grind...not feeling great, but good enough. Lots to talk about in the world of weather. A developing low in the western Caribbean will almost certainly become a hurricane on Wednesday and hurricane watches are already up for Florida's gulf coast. The system that will become Hurricane Helene is going to bring high winds, storm surge and heavy rain to much of Florida on Thursday and Thursday night. Amazingly, this will mark the 4th hurricane to hit the US Gulf Coast this season and might be the strongest one yet. As far as impacts on Texas, there is great news for us. With the large circulation of the hurricane staying well to our east, a nice, dry north breeze will kick in here and I think there's a great chance we'll wake up to lows in the 60s for a few days - maybe even some low to mid 60s by Friday morning. Today, plan for scattered thunderstorms (a few hefty) between around 2pm and 9pm.

The very warm September days are going to end with a weak front crawling into Southeast Texas. The temperatures will be slowly cooler but the drop in humidity will be enjoyed by all who are spending time outdoors. Look for some showers and isolated storms around Houston as the front approaches.

Houston will see a couple more days with warm temperatures and then a weak front will change the pattern. Look scattered showers and storms Tuesday and Wednesday as the front crawls towards southeast Texas. Computer models show the chance for a hurricane in the eastern Gulf of Mexico at the end of the week, but this system will need to be monitored as it forms in the western Caribbean Sea.

Invest 97L continues to brew in the Caribbean as confidences grows that this system will become Hurricane Helene in the Gulf of Mexico. Still some questions on where in the Gulf this storm will head at the end of this upcoming week.

As Fall officially arrives to southeast Texas on Sunday, be prepared for another hot day. Slowly this week temperatures will start to crawl down to seasonal averages for this time of the year. While the temperatures remain high, the chance for rain stays low. A weak front tries to push into the Houston area on Wednesday nudging up the rain chance just a bit.

All eyes are still on the Northwest Caribbean for possible tropical cyclone development, but it is going to take several more days for anything to show up. Models are starting to agree a little bit on the general direction of the potential system.

FOX 26 Meteorologist Remeisha Shade has more on the continued heat in the Houston area as well as when some relief may be on the way.

Chance for potential tropical development has increased to 50% for the NW Caribbean and Southern Gulf of Mexico over the next seven days. That means we should be alert for a possible tropical system in the Gulf, especially mid-late next week. Models are not certain exactly where this system will track yet so keep checking back for updates! Two other disturbances in the Atlantic, Invest 96-L and the remnants of Gordon are unlikely to develop into tropical systems. Environmental conditions appear unfavorable and chances have dropped to 10%.

In this episode of Forecasting with Friends, Allison is keeping a watch of possible developments you should be aware of and we see some cute animals, including Moo Dend, the viral baby hippo!

It may not feel like it but the Fall season is right around the corner and FOX 26 Meteorologist Allison Gargaro explains what will happen weather wise.

We have another of heat and humidity in Southeast Texas. Highs will reach the mid, if not upper-90s with heat index values up to 107 degrees. Stay hydrated and text it easy out there. The first day of fall is on Sunday, but it won’t be feeling like. We remain in this quiet and warm weather pattern through the weekend.

The last few days of summer will be filled with hot & humid weather with temperatures in the 90s likely. Look for patchy fog possible in the morning then temperatures rising to the 90s Friday afternoon. In fact, 90s are likely the next week with limited rain. We are keeping a very close eye on the tropics as models are hinting at a possible disturbance developing next week in the NW Caribbean or SE Gulf of Mexico. There's a MEDIUM 40% chance of a tropical system forming. Models are still torn as to whether it would move closer to Mexico, Houston or Florida so keep checking back for updates.
