Front brings a fall-feel to the air next week as tropical system moves into Gulf

HOUSTON, Texas (KTRK) — We’ve got a very steamy weekend on the way, but things will feel much better after a front moves through Monday.

Temps will flirt with the record of 95 on Saturday and there won’t be a drop of rain in sight.

An Ozone Pollution Watch is also in effect. Ozone is a lung irritant that can trigger asthma attacks in sensitive individuals.

How long will this heat stick around

Record highs will continue to be challenged through Monday. That’s when our “fall-ish” front will arrive.

A “fall-ish” front? Tell us more!

You got it! This front will arrive Monday and deliver a crushing blow to the muggy Gulf air. Low temperatures will drop into the 60s behind the front, and the humidity will tank. High temperatures will drop into the upper 80s, and there’s even an outside chance some of you will wake up to morning lows in the 50s one or two mornings next week!

What’s happening in the tropics?

We are still closely monitoring Tropical Storm Ian in the Caribbean. It will likely become the first Gulf hurricane of the season. After hitting Jamaica and the Caymans late this weekend, Florida will be hit sometime between Tuesday and Wednesday. For the very latest check out our daily tropical update.
