FOX 26 Houston Weather Forecast | Warm weekend ahead
Record heat was the big story on Friday with a new record high being set for Bush Airport in Houston of 92 degrees. Previous record high was 91 set back in 1950 and 2021. Temperatures will remain nearly 10 degrees above average this weekend near 90 with little to no rain. We stay stuck in this pattern through early next week. There are signs of a pattern change by next Wednesday and Thursday as rain chances finally increase a bit and we shave a few degrees off afternoon high temperatures. Models are indicating a tropical system could form in the SW Caribbean by the middle of next week where water temperatures are still super warm. This likely would NOT head to Texas but could bring some heavy rain and flood potential to some of the Caribbean Islands and Florida.

Continuing to track Kristy, possible Caribbean development
In the Eastern Pacific, we are still tracking Hurricane Kristy. The good news is that Kristy is moving WNW away from the United States and Mexico and should remain over water. Also, Kristy is expected to run into more wind shear and this will allow Kristy to become a post-tropical system by Sunday. In the Atlantic basin, no tropical systems are expected to form through the weekend. However, models are indicating a tropical system could form in the SW Caribbean by the middle of next week where water temperatures are still super warm. This likely would NOT head to Texas but could bring some heavy rain and flood potential to some of the Caribbean Islands and Florida. Hurricane season runs through November 30.

Watching Kristy, possible development in Caribbean
The Atlantic basin remains quiet for now with no tropical cyclones expected to form over the next few days. However, models are indicating that there could be some tropical development in the western or Central Caribbean mid-late next week. In the Eastern Pacific, Hurricane Kristy is still a powerful Major hurricane tracking away from Mexico and the U.S. Kristy should run into more wind shear, cooler & drier air by this weekend & early next week. This will cause the system to lose tropical characteristics and weaken.
