Thursday\u2019s Forecast:<\/p>\n

A dry cool front moves through late Thursday afternoon. Before it gets here, we\u2019ll again make a run for a record high. Thursday record is 98\u00b0 set in 2023. I\u2019ve got a high of 96\u00b0. On Wednesday we broke the record of 97\u00b0 with a high of 99\u00b0. <\/p>\n

Thursday is hot and humid with dewpoints reaching the mid-70s. Dewpoint is an excellent measure of how much moisture is in the air. The higher the number the more humid it feels. Once dewpoints fall to the 50s that is a much more comfortable feel for us in Houston. <\/p>\n

As dry air settles in late Thursday, we\u2019ll wake up to a refreshing feel Friday morning. North of I-10 we\u2019ll start the day in the 60s! Along I-10 and south we\u2019ll be in the 70s. But even those of us with mild temperatures will feel good with a low humidity in the morning and throughout the day. <\/p>\n

The day air does not stay with us. The humidity starts climbing Saturday and it will feel sticky Sunday. <\/p>\n

\"\"Next Three Days (Copyright 2025 by KPRC Click2Houston – All rights reserved.)Tracking a Fall front: <\/p>\n

Two things I\u2019m watching next week are tropical moisture from the Pacific and a cold front. The Pacific Ocean has two hurricanes, Cat 1 Odalys and Cat 5 Polo. Both of those will send tropical moisture to Arizona, New Mexico and Texas. Some of that moisture could arrive in Houston Wednesday with a cool front moving through at the same time. This may result in widespread heavy rain and lower temperatures. We\u2019ll keep watching this set up to see if it actually occurs. <\/p>\n

Tracking the tropics:<\/p>\n

All is quiet in the Gulf. There is one area near Cabo Verde being monitored by the National Hurricane Center. It\u2019s off the coast Africa and drifting north. It has a 60% chance of becoming our next named storm. There is no threat to the United States. <\/p>\n

\"\"60% chance this area becomes our next Atlantic system (Copyright 2026 by KPRC Click2Houston – All rights reserved.)<\/p>\n

So far this hurricane season we\u2019ve had six 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. <\/p>\n

\"\"We are on pace for latest first hurricane to form (Copyright 2026 by KPRC Click2Houston – All rights reserved.)Extended forecast:<\/p>\n

Our next chance of rain arrives next week. And there is the possibility we get a cold front Thursday. We could get some heavy rain as well with high in the 80s and a few mornings in the 60s! <\/p>\n
