Just a reminder to please keep your eyes on the road and be aware of school buses loading and unloading...Just this morning, an HISD School Bus was struck from behind while picking up students in the Sweet Home Area on FM 531...Fortunately no one was injured, but this is incident could have been much more serious. Please watch for Flashing Lights activated on buses and STOP for school buses loading and unloading students...Help us keep our kiddos safe!

Keep our kids safe — slow down ⬇️ and look around 👁️ at bus stops and in school zones!

Temperatures will change little through this week. Some low rain chances will eventually return to most of the region during the mid to late portion of the week.

🌀TROPICAL UPDATE for Sunday, August 30th, 2026🌀... The NHC is now giving an area of Low Pressure currently drifting west/northwestward across the northern Gulf a 50% possibility of becoming a brief/short lived Tropical Depression/Tropical Storm as it reaches the Upper Texas or Sothwestern Louisiana Coastline near the Texas/Louisiana Border sometime on Tuesday Afternoon/Evening. Currently, locally heavy tropical rainfall is affecting the Southern Coastal Areas of Alabama, Mississippi, and Louisiana. These Tropical rains could produce coastal/flash fllooding and potentially form into TS Eduoard before moving inland near the Texas/Louisiana Border sometime Tuesday Afternoon/Evening...Just how this system will affect the Coastal Plains/South Central Texas remains to be seen, and we will continue to monitor and update over the next few days, but we are hopeful to at least get some wrap around rain to nourish our parched soils woth some soaking tropical rainfall....
