Severe weather threat Thursday:

Thursday is going to be warm and moist! Storm chances will ramp up into the afternoon. The air is humid and unstable, so some of these storm cells can turn severe quickly.

Mother’s Day Weekend:

This is not a good gift for mom. Our temperatures will challenge record highs from 1998 and 1967 and the heat index in the afternoon will range from 100-104 degrees. Flowers will wilt. Chocolate will melt. Our bodies aren’t used to these kind of temperatures yet, so make sure you find a way to stay cool.

It's going to be sizzling hot this Mother's Day. (Copyright 2022 by KPRC Click2Houston - All rights reserved.)

10-Day Forecast:
