HOUSTON - Houston residents are advised to stay hydrated as a heat advisory remains in effect, with "feels like" temperatures expected to reach 104 to 106 degrees Sunday.
Hot and humid start to new work, school week
Houston and Southeast Texas can expect temperatures to soar Monday.
Highs in Houston are forecast to reach 98 degrees. Feels-like temperatures could reach as high as 106 degrees.
There is no active Heat Advisory, but it is very important to stay safe in this heat. Drink plenty of water, take breaks inside with a/c, reapply sunscreen and always remember to look before you lock your vehicle.
Daily rain chances this week
The overall rain outlook this week is a bit random with a daily round of afternoon showers and storms expected, but with periods of hot sunshine in between.
Our extended models are very mixed with timing and coverage of rain, but isolated afternoon storms make sense in this pattern. Rainfall totals will likely be a bit higher toward the end of the week and potentially the upcoming weekend.
Erin churns in the Atlantic, tropics heating up
Hurricane Erin continues to churn in the Atlantic as it passes north of Puerto Rico, Haiti and the Dominican Republic. The latest models have Erin curving away from the eastern coast of the U.S. this week.
Indirect impacts of large swell and dangerous rip currents are likely up and down the eastern seaboard.
The system is far away from Texas and will have no effect on our area.
