Monday’s Forecast:

Don’t expect to see any relief when we head back to work this week. The heat index will make it feel like 110-115 degrees again Monday afternoon. No changes for the start of our work week with the heat warning extended through Monday night. Highs will again spike close to 100 degrees across much of the area.

Oppressive heat through Wednesday:

The dome of high pressure is firmly in control through mid-week. Temperatures will be around triple digits with a dangerous heat index. Even a slight chance to see some late night storms Wednesday and again on Thursday won’t really break down the oppressive heat that much.

Tracking the tropics:

A tropical wave in the Atlantic has become an invest. That means the National Hurricane Center is “investigating” it as it is likely it becomes our next named storm. The water in the Atlantic is already nearing August and September norms, so this easily could become a tropical storm or even a hurricane. It will not move into the Gulf of Mexico. This will either die out near the Caribbean or turn north and not get near the United States. If you don’t have our KPRC Hurricane Tracker 2 App, now is the time to download it.

10-Day Forecast:

The upper level high heat dome is in control of our weather through Wednesday. The high breaks down and moves west Thursday. An area of low pressure helps lower tempeatures by changing the upper level wind direction and even gives us a chance of rain for the end of our work week.
