Warm week ahead | Fox 26 Houston Weather Update
Following a very warm weekend with highs in the mid 90s, that overall trend will continue this week with only slight day-to-day changes. Expect daily afternoon highs in the low to mid 90s with lows in the low to mid 70s. Storms are not likely, but one or two could periodically pop up mostly during the late afternoons. There are two tropical systems to watch today, but neither is near Texas. A system that is expected to become Tropical Storm Helene (or get very close to tropical storm status) will soak North and South Carolina with heavy downpours and occasional gusty winds today and Tuesday. In the far-off central Atlantic Ocean, Tropical Storm Gordon was downgraded to a depression over the weekend, but could regain tropical storm strength this week over the middle of the ocean, so no effect on land. Otherwise, the fall season begins this Sunday morning.
