Monitoring potential for tropical development over the eastern G

Tropical Depression Two forms in the Gulf and tracks into Houston late weekwww.click2houston.co m/weather/2026/07/19 /monitoring-the-gulf -coast-for-pote

Something we need to keep an eye on toward the end of the week.

@RajunCajun especially you......

@Smokeybear : Thank you. And yeah, I haven't been paying much attention. I always have food and water--might pick up more water on my store run. Our trees have been trimmed but perhaps we will need to secure some outdoor items. Thankful for my Generac. I'd give up any vacation or splurge to have it. I'm not a fancy person but my Generac is my treat to ourselves. I worry more about my Richmond dd. They lose power weekly-literally-for short periods of time. She has a baby so going without power makes it tough. I'd like to make a donation to her generator savings account, but I can't do it this year. So, for the moment, she will just have to tough it out if she loses power. I have great empathy for her because we went without power for a week when she was a baby during Hurricane Andrew. It was awful.

I know y'all don't need any more rain.

Tropical Depression Two forms in the Gulf, impacts to Texas are possible later this week


HOUSTON, Texas (KTRK) -- Tropical Depression 2 formed in the eastern Gulf Sunday and is forecast to become Tropical Storm Bertha Monday. And with this system expected to track west along the Gulf Coast there's the potential for Texas to be impacted later this week, but a lot of uncertainty remains in the exact track.While the eastern Gulf is active, the western Gulf is quiet for now. High pressure and a heat dome that settled in over the weekend will sit overhead early on this week. It was quite hot outside Sunday afternoon and we'll do it all again Monday. Monday morning temperatures will start in the mid-upper 70s and climb into the upper 90s in the afternoon. A heat index will make it feel like the triple digits outside, as early as a feels like temperature of 100 at 11 am and peaking at 106 or 07 alter in the day. We'll also have a high UV index with mostly sunny conditions expected once again. As for Saharan dust, the plume that was overhead this weekend has mixed out and will not be as much of an impact this week.What should we know about Tropical Depression Two?Tropical Depression Two is expected to sit off the coast of Florida in the eastern gulf early on this week and strengthen into a tropical storm, named Bertha, Monday. This potential storm will make a slow progression to the northwest early on this week, eventually reaching the coast of Louisiana Wednesday. The storm will be impacted by wind shear early on in its development which is why the storm will likely remain a tropical storm early on in the week. By the time we hit Wednesday and Thursday, the storm will begin accelerating farther west, potentially pushing towards Texas into Thursday and Friday.So what's the outlook for the Houston area this week?For now the western gulf will stay hot and dry thanks to a heat dome settling in over the state this weekend. That continues throughout next week and we're expecting this next week to be the hottest stretch of summer so far. Morning lows will consistently be in the mid-upper 70s with afternoon highs in the upper 90s. Late in the week things could change depending on the exact path and possible intensity of Tropical Depression Two which is forecast to become tropical storm Bertha Monday. Southeast Texas is included in the forecast cone for the tropical disturbance with the system reaching the Houston area Friday. That, of course, can also change this week.Any rain in the near future?We're dry through Wednesday. The exact path of Tropical Depression Two could potentially increase rain chances late-week, but it's still a bit too early to have any real confidence in the path.
