Three potential areas of development in Atlantic
We are still monitoring three areas across the Atlantic basin with the potential for tropical cyclone development. An area of low pressure could form in the NW Caribbean and push into the southern Gulf of Mexico over the next week. Chances have increased to 40% over the next 7 days. Models are still torn as to whether it would move closer to Mexico, Houston or Florida so keep checking back for updates. Disorganized low pressure in the west-central Atlantic has a low 20% chance for development over the next week. The remnants of Gordon in the central Atlantic are expected to drift north and stay away from land. But there's a 30% chance Gordon could turn back into a tropical system.

We have two tropical systems currently, but neither is a threat to Texas. Yesterday, Potential Tropical Cyclone #8 made landfall near the state line of South and North Carolina without being upgraded to Helene. Torrential rainfall caused serious flooding with rainfall totals in excess of 12" across a large swath of North Carolina. Finally, a partial lunar eclipse will be visible tonight after sunset. These types of eclipses are often not very exciting, but if conditions are just right, the moon may appear to have an orange hue after around 9pm.

Fall is less than a week away but that late summer heat is building with very little rain. Look for above normal temperatures in the middle to upper 90s in Houston with rain chances at 10% or less.

Tropical depression Gordon is in the central Atlantic and should not be a threat to land.
