WeatherAccuWeather forecast for NYC, New York, New Jersey and ConnecticutByEyewitness News The Loop: Your live look at weather and trafficNEW YORK (WABC) -- Looking ahead to next week, temperatures moderate back into the 60s, closer to seasonal averages. However, a developing storm system off the Southeast and Mid-Atlantic coast will require monitoring. Current indications keep the storm far enough offshore to avoid a direct impact on the region, but it may occasionally increase winds near the coast and create concerns for minor to moderate coastal flooding and beach erosion. Overall, those away from the coast can expect a classic stretch of fall weather next week, featuring crisp mornings, seasonable afternoons, and plenty of opportunities to enjoy the autumn colors.

Need to Know WeatherOur coldest weather since March is in the forecast for Sunday morning, and the weather looks really nice for the week ahead. Sunday, October 18, 2026 10:30PMHOUSTON, Texas (KTRK) -- We've stumbled into a delightful weather pattern that will bring cool mornings, warm afternoons, and pleasant humidity for the work week ahead. Going back to work and school on Monday, it should still feel like fall with a low in the mid 50s and a high near 80. How long does this fall goodness stick around? The morning temperatures stay cool all week long in the upper 50s and low 60s, but high temperatures will steadily climb each day. By midweek, we'll be back in the upper 80s. Our highs will stay just under 90 degrees through the end of the week and next weekend as low temperatures climb back into the low 60s. When could we get our next decent chance of rain? Rain chances will be close to zero for the foreseeable future as this front has pushed the tropical air far away from the U. S. Gulf Coast. There are subtle signs that another front could pass through Texas toward the end of the month, and that would be our next best chance of getting rainfall.
