Sunday Forecast
Futuretrack, 11pm SaturdayFUTURETRACK-SUNDAY 2PMSunday’s forecast:

Texans and Cowboys fans will have a rain free tailgate ahead of the noon kick-off. After the game rain chances are a low 20%-30%. This will again be a day with the highest likelihood of storms along our coastal cities.

Humid but rain freeCold front Monday and Tuesday:

We’ve been teased with four cold fronts late summer into early fall. All of them have stalled to the north of Houston so far. But the one late Monday into Tuesday looks like it is moving all the way through southeast Texas. It isn’t a strong front in regard to temperature, but it will bring low humidity, sunny skies and cool mornings in the 60s. We’ve been waiting a long time for this.

Tracking the tropics:

The latest update from the NHC has placed a low chance of formation on this disturbance in the southern Gulf. Not much is expected of this system at the moment, but we’ll keep our eyes on it.

THE NHC has placed a low chance of formation on a tropical wave in the Gulf.

The Atlantic basin remains remarkably quiet. The one thing I’m watching is the Bay of Campeche next weekend. There is a 40% chance the yellowish green cold becomes a tropical storm. It most likely won’t head in our direction but this is the area I’ve been concerned with all season long.

So far this hurricane season we’ve had eight tropical storms. We have not had a hurricane in the Atlantic basin. The latest first hurricane to form was Gustav and Humberto, which formed on September 11th. This means our 2026 hurricane season set a record for the latest hurricane to form.

Rain chances are with us through the weekend so having some alternative plans is a good idea. Check out next week’s winds. That northeast breeze is bringing dry air, low humidity and cool mornings.
