Houston Weather: Scattered showers still possible, but intense heat is the focus all week-long
video

Aside from a very isolated shower or storm far north today and tomorrow, hot and dry conditions are taking over. Heat precautions will need to be taken all week long, but especially toward the end of the week when we soar toward record values both for daytime highs and overnight lows. Our first 100+ degree day normally doesn't occur until mid-July, so this is about a month ahead of schedule and a week before summer officially begins. The Tropical Atlantic remains quiet at this time.

Houston Weather: The intense heat now a focus after the storms
video

Storms moved across the Southeast Texas area, now it is all about the heat. A dome of high pressure will build in place and lock Houston into a very hot pattern. Look for triple digits by the end of the week and possible heat advisories.

Few storms expected Saturday night, then expect temperatures in triple digits

A few storms across Southeast Texas on Saturday evening and then it is all about the heat. A dome of high pressure will build in place and lock Houston into a very hot pattern. Look for triple digits by the end of the week and possible heat advisories.

Houston Weather: Hot now, but look out for severe storms late Saturday night
video

While most of today will be hot and dry, be on the lookout for strong to severe storms late tonight. Areas north have the highest likelihood of seeing large hail, and damaging winds mainly between 7 p.m. - midnight. Next week is all about the heat, and while we'll approach records toward the end at least there will be plenty of wind and solar energy to help the grid! Feels like values will be 5-10 degrees above actual temperatures, so practicing heat safety will be imperative.

Houston-weather: The heat is on! Very hot weather in the weekend forecast, storms possible Saturday night

Storms across North Texas may creep into Southeast Texas late on Saturday. Most of the day will be dry and hot but keep an eye to the north of Houston as the sun starts to set. The weekend ends warm and dry as we shift to a pattern that will bring very hot temperatures. Be safe with your outdoor activities at the end of the week.

Severe thunderstorms rolled through Houston Thursday; less severe storms expected for Friday
video

Another hot and hazy day, with quiet conditions and sunshine to start and a few isolated downpours or rumbles of thunder later this afternoon. While much less coverage and intensity of storms is expected today, Saturday evening could get rowdy again if storms approaching from the north hold together. They may dissipate upon approach, and past that rain chances dwindle as a heat dome builds. Triple digit feels like values will begin this weekend, so take breaks often in the shade and stay hydrated if spending extended periods of time outdoors especially during peak heating of the day. Don't forget about your furry friends as well, and LOOK before you LOCK.

Make sure to stay alert & download our FOX 26 WX App to keep track of the threatening weather. A pattern shift is still scheduled for the weekend and much of next week with hotter and drier weather returning.

Spotty storms are once again possible Thursday afternoon and evening with a few heavy downpours, frequent lightning and some strong wind gusts. There's even a low risk for an isolated severe storm with gusts near 60 mph and hail near 1". But after Thursday, our rain chances start to wind down and temperatures soar. Look for a heat dome to build in for much of next week with hot and dry weather as temperatures soar to near 100 by the middle of next week.

Houston Weather: Lower floodthreat but isolated street flooding is possible due to heavy downpours

A few showers and storms are still possible through early tonight. The flood threat is much lower but I can't rule out a heavy downpour causing some isolated street flooding. Otherwise, look for us to dry out for much of the night with a bit of patchy fog possible early Thursday.
