Uncharacteristic Warmness Persists on Wednesday in Houston with Minimal Rain Prospects
The Atlantic Ocean is seeing another potential storm brewing, as a tropical disturbance is expected to develop into Tropical Storm Gabrielle over the next 24-36 hours. Currently, the system is approximately 1085 miles from the northern Leeward Islands and has a good chance of becoming the season's second hurricane this weekend.
However, residents of Texas should not worry just yet, as at least two more tropical waves are expected to move off the coast of Africa. But these systems are thousands of miles away from Texas, making it unlikely they will pose a threat in the immediate future.
As for the weather in Texas, the rest of the week is expected to be warm and relatively dry. Afternoon highs will be in the low to mid 90s, while overnight low temperatures will range from upper-60s to mid-70s. The chance for showers or isolated storms will be approximately 20% each day, with a slight increase by the weekend.
It's worth noting that no cold fronts are expected over the next seven days, which means the warm and humid weather is likely to continue. But fear not, as the tropical storm in the Atlantic that may become Gabrielle is unlikely to strike land.
While it's always important to stay informed and prepared, residents of Texas can rest easy knowing that the immediate threat of a tropical storm is not imminent. Keep an eye on the weather forecasts for updates on Tropical Storm Gabrielle and any other potential systems that may develop in the Atlantic.
