Continuing to monitor tropical waves in Atlantic | FOX 26 Tropical Weather Forecast
In the Atlantic, no named storms have formed since Ernesto on August 12th. This has been a pretty remarkable quiet period for hurricane activity. But don't let your guard down as September is historically the busiest month of hurricane season. We are monitoring three tropical waves in the Atlantic basin. One in the Central Caribbean has a low 30% chance of development over the next seven days. There are also two tropical waves in the central and eastern Atlantic. Both only have a low chance to become a tropical system but will be watched closely.
Summer cold front| Fox 26 Houston Weather Forecast
Following flooding bear the beaches on Labor Day, today we'll continue a similar pattern with heavy rain south of Houston and more spotty storms closer to town and surrounding suburbs. Look for humid highs in the low 90s. Rain chances will actually rise for Wednesday and especially Thursday, but then...a summer "cold" front! The main change we expect is that the humidity will drop by Saturday and lows could even drop into the upper 60s in spots by Sunday and Monday morning. Surprisingly, there is very little activity in the tropics, but there is a chance for a low to develop and affect the Yucatan later this week. Otherwise, we're in good shape for now.
Rain continues into Tuesday | FOX 26 Houston Weather Forecast
The threat for more heavy downpours and flooding will continue for a few more days, especially around Galveston, Lake Jackson, Angleton & Bay City. Low pressure near coast is not expected to turn into a tropical system since it will move over land by tomorrow morning. But this disturbance combined with a weak cold front will keep decent rain chances in the forecast through Thursday. Behind the late summer cold front, expect a refreshing pattern change that will include brighter skies, lower humidity and drier weather!
Labor Day washout on Galveston Island

Monitoring two areas of disturbed weather in Atlantic | FOX 26 Houston Tropical Weather Update
We are now officially in what is typically the busiest month of hurricane season! There's some good news though. Disturbance in the NW Gulf of Mexico near Houston should move over land early Tuesday which ends the chance of tropical formation. However there are two other tropical waves with a MEDIUM 40% chance of development. One is in the Eastern Caribbean and could make it into the SW Gulf by this weekend. The other is still far out in the Eastern Atlantic which gives us several days to watch it. The next two names on the list are Francine and Gordon. The peak of hurricane season is September 10.
