HOUSTON — Today will be partly cloudy and lots of sunshine is expected through the weekend.
Francine continues to move further inland and will pull a lot of the moisture with it. Southeast Texas will still get some wrap-around from it, meaning the wind will be out of the north today.
Today will not be as breezy as it has been the past few days. We will continue to see sunshine build back in.
Although we have passed the peak of hurricane season, we are tracking several waves across the Atlantic Basin. A wave off the Carolinas has a 30% chance of development over the next seven days. Two waves further out in the Atlantic have a 10% chance of development.

Then we have Tropical Depression Seven just off the coast of Africa. Most of this looks to remain in the Atlantic, but of course we will watch that carefully.
Looking ahead to our long-range pattern all we really warm things up.

We’re expecting mid-90s for the weekend and even over the next six to 10 days, getting more into the latter part of September.
Expect high heat and above-average temperatures with dry conditions over the next seven days. That could even extend over the next 10 days. Our rain outlook not only for the next seven days but potentially extended over the next ten days. We are mostly dry, so if anything, now is the time to wash the car.
