We’ll once again see highs soaring into the triple digits for many spots Sunday afternoon.
The Heat Advisory is in effect because our “Feels Like” temps are ranging from 104-114.
Areas in our northern viewing areas are under an Excessive Heat Warning, which means the actual temperatures could reach 105 with the “Feels Like” temps between 105-114 degrees!
Record Highs! :
We’re already seeing record setting heat at Bush airport, Hobby, and College Station! Bush airport made it to 105 degrees this afternoon which tied the July all-time record of 105 (1954) and the hottest day since August 11th, 2015 (106)! This is dangerous heat and best to stay indoors until later this evening if you have the chance to.
We’ll have consistent triple-digit heat through Monday. Houston has a heat advisory today with heat index values above 108 degrees. And we’ll challenge record highs today and again possibly on Monday. You’ll notice the highs will be in the 102-103 range by mid afternoon ahead of a few showers expected to pop up along a boundary that will move to the south through the late afternoon.
10-day Forecast:
There is hope on our long-range forecast. Once we get through this weekend a front will sag into southeast Texas next week. This pattern change may bring several rounds of rain with temperatures 10 degrees lower than where we are this weekend.
Tracking The Topics:
The tropics are showing a little sign of life along our northern Gulf Coast. An area of storms now inland is expected to move into the Gulf where there is a chance for some sort of tropical development in the next 5 days. Right now that probability from the National Hurricane Center is 20%. There is a lot of Saharan dust across much of the Atlantic Basin and has been suppressing any new tropical development over the last few days.
