Stormtracker 2 Radar:

HOUSTON – We’ve been waiting for the cold front this week to bring in some relief from this late summer heat and it’s almost here! We’ll be watching for some showers and thunderstorms to also move in with the front later this afternoon. You can track the storms as they fire up later today here with the current radar sweep:

Wednesday’s Forecast:

Before we get there, expect one more day of hot and humid weather, with showers, and thunderstorms rumbling through tomorrow afternoon. The cool front arrives late Wednesday into early Thursday.

Tracking the Tropics:

Tropical Storm Helene formed at 10AM Tuesday morning in the Northwestern Caribbean Sea. Helene is on track to intensify quickly once it forms and gets out into the open, very warm waters in the Gulf of Mexico . Right now the forecast calls for a major category 3 hurricane to make landfall near Apalachicola or along the Big Bend turn down to Cedar Key Thursday afternoon.

10-day Forecast:

Stormy weather returns Wednesday afternoon as the front passes through, then we’re getting a nice little taste of fall with low humidity and morning temperatures in the 60s. Afternoons are still warm but it will feel dry. Next week the humidity is back.
