Record setting heat with heat warnings issued:

High temperatures climb into the 100s Sunday. Humidity streams in as well with a steady south wind bringing a heat index climbing to 105 to 108 degrees. Because we expect to hit that 108-degree heat index, the heat advisory has been extended for southeast Texas through 8PM Sunday.

Most of SE Texas is under a heat advisory for Saturday. (Copyright 2021 by KPRC Click2Houston - All rights reserved.)

Temperatures will be close to breaking records, so practice heat safety!

Why so hot this week?

We’re stuck underneath a very strong upper-level ridge of high pressure. Think of it as an upside-down bowl, the heat inside that bowl is trapped. High pressure sinks the air and that compressed air is hot. The more it heats up, the stronger the high gets, and that means highs will spike to 100 degrees Friday, Saturday and Sunday.

10-day Forecast:

This is an abnormally hot outlook. Make sure you practice heat safety. Drink plenty of water, and limit strenuous outdoor activity during the hottest parts of the day. Remember to never leave children, pets, or disabled adults inside of a vehicle. The drop in temperatures Monday and next week is slight, and we will see an increase in humidity so it will not feel much better.

Temperatures will be well above normal the next 10 days. (Copyright 2022 by KPRC Click2Houston - All rights reserved.)
