Tuesday’s Forecast:

HOUSTON – The heat advisory that has been in effect going back to last week, has been updated to an excessive heat warning. Heat index values will go above 112° tomorrow. It’s also in effect longer, lasting through 10pm Tuesday. I’m forecasting a high of 102° which would be the hottest day of the year. Monday we climbed to 101°! That makes Monday the hottest day of the year so far. So far we’ve reached 100° five times this year.

How much longer?

This incredibly strong ridge of high pressure won’t budge through Thursday. By the time we get to the weekend it weakens and gives us a small chance of storms.
