HURRICANES AND WEATHER
Beautiful and in some places chilly weekend for much of the country. Look for some storms in spots (as indicated by Storm Prediction Center graphic) northeast, southwest, southeast and northwest.

Houston, get ready to be spoiled...highs in the 70s, low humidity and lows in the 50s and upper 40s respectively for Saturday and Sunday. More humid air begins to return middle of coming week. Then, warming until next cold front and a few showers and thunderstorms move through on Wednesday pm.

AND MORE
Clarification on new child safety seat law (thank you Larry Mack)...here is the original correction to the old law:
TRC § 545.412. CHILD PASSENGER SAFETY SEATSYSTEMS; OFFENSE. (a) A person commits an offense if the person operates a passenger vehicle, transports a child who is younger than eight [five] years of age, unless the child is taller than four feet, nine inches [and less than 36 inches in height], and does not keep the child secured during the operation of the vehicle in a child passenger safety seat system according to the instructions of the manufacturer of the safety seat system.

So, this means that all children under the age of 8 have to be secured safely (unless than are taller thatn 4'9".

Have a great and safe weekend!
