Houston: Scorching heat, slight storm chances before new week’s increase

The Brief

  • More Heat and Humidity
  • Rain Chances Climb Early Next Week
  • Tropics Stay Quiet

HOUSTON The Fourth may be over but the heat and humidity remains!

Hot end to the weekend

Highs soar to the mid/upper 90s with heat index values over 106 to end the holiday weekend. It is a muggy day all day, so be safe in the heat.

Most of us stay dry, but a few afternoon storms may pop up with brief downpours and lightning. Keep an eye on the radar if you’re heading outdoors for activities, and that includes FIFA fan fest, which opens at 1:30pm this afternoon.

Rain chances increase

A wetter pattern develops early next week as deeper Gulf moisture moves in.

Scattered showers and storms become more likely Monday and Tuesday, bringing higher rain coverage across Southeast Texas.

It won’t be a complete washout of a day, but when you hear thunder roar, head indoors.
