Sunday’s Forecast:

More blazing temps are on tap for Sunday. Heat advisories and Excessive Heat Warnings are in effect through 10PM and will likely be extended beyond.

This will be our 42nd day this summer with a heat alert, and if we hit 100 it will be our 8th day in a row and 16th of the year. We average 3–100-degree days a year.

Drought getting worse:

We haven’t had rain in Houston since July 6th, over four weeks ago. Avoid burning if you can even in areas not under a burn ban. Conditions are very dry across the board and with no rain expected through the work week, conditions will get worse.

Our drought continues to grow with all of SE Texas dry. Our next update to the drought monitor will come out Thursday, August 10th.

10-Day Forecast:

This is the hottest week of the year with no relief expected. For more on what’s causing this heat, check out Frank’s weather blog. Please be careful working outside and drink plenty of water.

Tracking the Tropics:

The Atlantic basin is quiet for now. No storms are expected to form in the next seven days.
