  • 🎃 Halloween Forecast for Southeast Texas 👻

    Planning to trick-or-treat on Halloween? Current trends suggest mild temperatures, but rain chances may be increasing as we head into next week.

    🌡️ Trick-or-treat temperatures: It’s still too early for a confident Halloween evening temperature forecast, but based on the current pattern, mild conditions are possible. Temperatures could be comfortable for evening activities, though a more precise estimate will come as Halloween approaches.

    🌧️ Rain chances: Gulf moisture is expected to return next week, bringing some shower and thunderstorm chances to Southeast Texas. It’s too early to determine how much this could affect Halloween evening.

    ⚠️ Keep in mind: Halloween is still several days away, and forecast models can change significantly at this range. We’ll continue monitoring the trends and adjust the forecast as confidence improves.

    🎃 Stay tuned to Weather Insights for updates as we get closer to trick-or-treat time!

  • 🌧️2026  ISAIAS UPDATE | SATURDAY, OCTOBER 10,

    Isaias is now a post-tropical cyclone, but the flooding threat remains significant across parts of the Southeast.

    As of 4:00 AM CDT, Isaias was located about 25 miles south-southwest of Montgomery, Alabama, moving north at 14 mph. Maximum sustained winds have decreased to 35 mph, and gradual weakening is expected as the system moves across Alabama and into the Tennessee Valley. Isaias is forecast to dissipate Sunday.

    🟠 FLOODING REMAINS THE PRIMARY CONCERN

    Rainfall through the weekend could bring:

    • 4–8 inches across southern Alabama, the Florida Panhandle, and southwestern Georgia.
    • Localized totals up to 15 inches across portions of the Florida Panhandle and Florida Big Bend.
    • 2–5 inches across much of the remainder of the Southeast, with isolated totals up to 10 inches possible in the Southern Appalachians and coastal Carolinas.

      • Flash flooding, urban flooding, and river flooding remain serious concerns, particularly across southern Alabama, the Florida Panhandle, and southwestern Georgia. Landslides are also possible in the Southern Appalachians.

      🌪️ TORNADO THREAT CONTINUES

      A tornado risk will persist this morning into the afternoon across parts of the eastern Florida Panhandle, Georgia, and the Carolinas.

      🌊 GULF COAST BEACH HAZARDS

      Water levels along Florida’s Gulf Coast will continue to recede. However, swells from Isaias will continue affecting Gulf Coast beaches, creating dangerous surf and potentially life-threatening rip currents.

      ✅ ALL TROPICAL STORM AND STORM SURGE WARNINGS HAVE BEEN DISCONTINUED. No watches or warnings remain in effect for Isaias.

      ⚠️ Bottom line: Although Isaias is weakening, heavy rainfall and flash flooding remain the biggest threats. Never drive through flooded roadways, and stay alert for warnings from your local National Weather Service office.

      This is the National Hurricane Center’s final public advisory on Isaias. The Weather Prediction Center will issue subsequent public advisories beginning at 10:00 AM CDT.

    • 🌤️ SOUTHEAST TEXAS WEATHER OUTLOOK | OCT. 4–10

      A noticeable weather shift is coming this week! 🌬️ After a wet start to October, drier air moves in, bringing more sunshine, lower humidity, and cooler mornings across Southeast Texas.

      🌧️ Sunday: Showers & thunderstorms remain possible, especially early and afternoon. Highs near 82–84°.

      ☀️ Monday–Wednesday: The best stretch of the week! Mostly sunny to sunny skies, with highs climbing into the mid/upper 80s to around 90°. Overnight lows dip into the upper 60s to low 70s.

      🌦️ Thursday–Saturday: Gulf moisture gradually returns, bringing increasing rain and storm chances. Expect highs in the mid-to-upper 80s, with scattered showers and thunderstorms possible.

      💡 Weather Insight: The big story is the transition from a wet, humid pattern to a drier and more comfortable air mass early in the week, followed by moisture building back in toward the weekend.

      📌 Bottom line: Enjoy the sunshine and lower humidity Monday through Wednesday, but keep the umbrella handy as we head toward the weekend!

    • SOUTHEAST TEXAS: THE REST OF SEPTEMBER
      Summer isn’t giving up just yet.
      The climate signal for the remainder of September favors above-normal temperatures across Southeast Texas, with plenty of heat and humidity likely to continue. A few days may feel noticeably more comfortable, but a sustained fall-like cooldown is not the dominant signal yet.
      Rain chances: More uncertain. Expect the usual late-summer pattern of hit-or-miss showers and thunderstorms, with the potential for locally heavy downpours. Tropical disturbances can quickly change the rainfall picture along the Upper Texas Coast, so a quiet stretch can be followed by a very wet day.
      Temperature trend: Generally warmer than normal, especially during the afternoon. Overnight temperatures should gradually ease as September progresses, but muggy mornings and warm afternoons will remain common.
      Fall transition: Don’t put away the summer gear just yet. A stronger cold front eventually becomes more likely as we move toward October, but the timing of that first meaningful cooldown is difficult to pin down this far out.
      Tropical watch: September remains an important part of the Atlantic hurricane season. Stay weather-aware and keep hurricane preparedness plans in place.
      Bottom line: Hot → hit-or-miss storms → gradual cooling → eventually, a more noticeable fall pattern.
      This is a climate outlook, not a specific day-by-day forecast. Conditions can change quickly, especially with Gulf and tropical systems.

    • Labor Day Weather Outlook: Hot and Mostly Sunny Across Southeast Texas

      Happy Labor Day, Southeast Texas! 🇺🇸☀️

      If you’re heading outdoors for the holiday, be prepared for hot and mostly sunny conditions across the region.

      Temperatures are expected to climb to around 97°F, while the heat index could make it feel as hot as 107°F during the afternoon. A 20% chance of showers and thunderstorms is expected after 1 PM, so a few locations could see a passing storm or brief downpour.

      Winds are expected to remain light and calm, providing little relief from the afternoon heat.

      Heat Safety Tips

      If you’re spending Labor Day outside, take precautions against the heat:

      • Drink plenty of water throughout the day.
      • Take frequent breaks in the shade or air conditioning.
      • Avoid prolonged exposure to the afternoon heat.
      • Check on children, older adults, and pets.
      • Never leave children or pets unattended in a vehicle.
      • Keep an eye on the sky as isolated thunderstorms develop during the afternoon.

        • While rain chances are relatively low, any thunderstorms that develop could bring brief heavy rain, lightning, and gusty winds.

        Overall, Southeast Texas is in for a hot and mostly sunny Labor Day, with temperatures near 97°F and a few afternoon showers or thunderstorms possible.

        Have a safe, cool, and happy Labor Day!

      • 🚨 TROPICAL STORM EDOUARD UPDATE — SOUTHEAST TEXAS

        A Hurricane Watch is in effect from High Island, TX to Cameron, LA, with Tropical Storm and Storm Surge Warnings from High Island to the Cameron/Vermilion Parish line.

        🌀 Edouard: 40 mph winds, moving WNW at 7–8 mph. Landfall is expected over Jefferson County, TX, between High Island and Sabine Pass, then inland toward the Conroe/Huntsville area Wednesday.

        🌧️ Rainfall: 3–6″ likely across parts of Chambers, Liberty, San Jacinto, eastern Montgomery, eastern Harris and eastern Galveston Counties, with isolated 6–9″ totals possible. Heavy rain could spread west of I-45 and north of I-10 Tuesday night into Wednesday.

        🌬️ Winds: 15–25 mph for much of the area, with stronger gusts in squalls. Tropical-storm-force winds are most likely near the eastern portions of Chambers and Liberty Counties.

        🌊 Coastal Flooding: Minor flooding is possible along Bolivar and parts of Galveston Bay. 2–4 feet of storm surge is possible east of High Island, including Sabine Lake.

        ⚠️ Remember: The storm is not a point. Impacts can extend well away from the center and far inland.

        Stay weather aware and follow official guidance as conditions evolve.

      • 🌴 SOUTHEAST TEXAS TROPICAL WEATHER UPDATE — SUNDAY, AUGUST 30 | 2:00 PM CDT

        The National Hurricane Center has increased the chance of tropical development in the northern Gulf of America to 50% through the next 48 hours and 50% through 7 days.

        A low-pressure system, designated AL97, is currently about 125 miles south of southeastern Louisiana and has become better organized. The system is expected to move slowly west-northwestward, with a possible short-lived tropical depression or tropical storm developing before reaching the Upper Texas or southwestern Louisiana coast Tuesday or Tuesday night.

        🌧️ What could Southeast Texas see?

        Even if the system does not become a named tropical storm, the main concern for our area is locally heavy rainfall.

        • Periods of heavy rain and thunderstorms

        • Locally intense rainfall that could produce street/urban flooding
        • Gusty winds, particularly near heavier storms
        • Reduced visibility and difficult driving conditions
        • Potentially higher rain totals in localized areas

        ⚠️ The exact impacts are NOT known yet. Small changes in the track or development of this system could significantly affect where the heaviest rain falls.

        Residents along the Upper Texas coast should continue monitoring updates over the next 24–48 hours. Now is a good time to make sure you have multiple ways to receive weather alerts and to review your flood/emergency plans.

        Bottom line: Don’t focus solely on whether this becomes a tropical storm. Heavy rainfall could be the biggest concern for Southeast Texas regardless of development.

        We’ll continue watching AL97 closely and sharing updates as the forecast becomes clearer. 🌴🌧️
