Today’s Forecast:
HOUSTON – A ridge of high pressure is bringing Houston hot weather this weekend, with “feels like” temperatures in the triple digits. The forecasted high is 98 but if Houston happens to reach 100 tomorrow, it will be the first 100 degree day of 2025. The average 100 degree day typically occurs in mid-July.
We’ll track the chance for more severe weather in the Dallas area tonight into tomorrow. Houston isn’t expecting severe storms, but the heat is a serious concern. “Feels-like” temperatures could soar to 102–104°F this afternoon, posing a risk of heat illness for everyone.
Stay safe with these tips:
- Hydrate constantly. Carry water and drink regularly.
- Beat the heat. Shift outdoor activities to before 10 AM or after 6 PM.
- Dress smart. Wear lightweight, loose-fitting clothing and take frequent breaks in the shade or indoors.
Rain Returns:
Rain chances increase next week. Expect daily showers and storms possible. The rain will help beat heat down to the upper 80s. We are watching for the chance for rain Monday on your way to work and on your way home.
Tracking The Tropics
- Tropical Atlantic: No tropical cyclone activity expected in the next 7 days, as there are plenty of plumes of Saharan dust. It will bring a hazy look to our weekend forecast
- Eastern Pacific: Tropical Storm Barbara, located a few hundred miles south of Mexico’s Gulf of Tehuantepec, has sustained winds of 60 mph and is moving at 12 mph. We’re also watching tropical depression and an area of low pressure near Barbara.
10 Day Forecast:
Next week temperatures return to closer to average as rain chances help decrease heat.
