FOX 26 Houston Weather Forecast
VERY hot today with late day isolated storms mainly north of I-10, a few of which may be on the strong side. Scattered showers continue area-wide tomorrow as a weak summer front progresses across the area. That'll lower temps and humidity some for the remainder of the week, with mainly pleasant mornings to look forward to. All eyes on the Eastern Gulf with now TD-10 set to bring impacts to Florida in the Tuesday-Wednesday time frame.
The city says community centers that are operated by the Houston Parks and Recreation Department will also be open to the public once daily programming for enrolled participants has concluded.
According to the city, YMCA of Greater Houston will open locations over the weekend for people needing relief from the heat.
