FOX 26 Houston Weather Forecast
HEAT ADVISORY has been extended through 10 PM Thursday for all of SE Texas with heat index values of 108-112 still likely. We will remain stuck in this stagnant weather pattern through the end of the work week with little relief in sight. Slight pattern change is in store for the weekend and early next week as big area of high pressure near west Texas shifts west. That will allow for a few more clouds and a better chance for spotty showers and storms this weekend. It will still be hot but hopefully the rain will provide some temporary relief from this relentless heat wave. Make sure to download our FOX 26 WX App to keep track of the latest heat alerts and what's popping up on the radar this weekend.

Tropical Weather Forecast - July 19, 2023
Tropical Storm Don has gotten a little stronger out in the north central Atlantic with 45 mph winds as it moves west. It will eventually turn NW but is expected to remain over the water. Another tropical wave still close to Africa has developed in the eastern Atlantic with only a 20% shot for development over the next 7 days. Calvin is no longer a tropical cyclone as it has become post-tropical as it pulls away from the big Island of Hawaii. Gulf of Mexico and Caribbean remain quiet for now.

FOX 26 Houston Weather Forecast
A heat advisory is in effect again through 10 p.m., but some subtle changes are on the way. A huge heat dome still stretches across the country from California to Florida but will weaken over the Houston area from late Friday through Monday, so scattered showers and a few storms are possible. Hot, humid weather is still expected, but with some temporary cool-downs. Otherwise, you may notice some haze in the air - there is a light layer of Saharan dust in place across the Gulf Coast.

HEAT ADVISORY continues until 10 PM Wednesday for Houston and surrounding areas. Plan on high temperatures near triple digits through the end of the work week with heat index values near 108-110. By this weekend and next week, the heat dome shifts west enough to allow for slightly cooler temps, more clouds and a better chance for showers and storms. Best chance for rain appears to be Sunday afternoon and evening with spotty rain and isolated thunder expected for Monday and Tuesday PM.

No big surprises in today's forecast - still very hot and humid and again a heat advisory is in effect. The heat dome that's been dominating our weather for most of the past month will briefly shift westward this weekend, so we may have a few storms, but next week, the big ridge of high pressure is expected to take hold again.

Houston Weather: Heat advisory in effect through Saturday evening
A copy-paste forecast with lots more hot, humid, dry and breezy days on the horizon. An area wide Heat Advisory is in effect through Saturday evening for now. Early next week there is a very slim shot at a few isolated showers, but I wouldn't bank on any meaningful rain. In the Atlantic Subtropical Storm Don formed early this morning, our 4th named storm of the season. It is very far north, and poses no threats to land. In the Pacific, Calvin becomes the first major hurricane of the season in either basin. Currently a Cat 3, moving NNW and may eventually bring remnants to Hawaii. @digital

Brace yourselves for lots of triple digit days with slightly drier air and a southwest wind. Our heat dome has wobbled west just enough to open up the door for a few isolated showers mainly east of town today. But, it will work its way east again, intensifying the heat and bringing rain chances back down to zero for most of the week. By next weekend, things look to shift again enough to possibly tone temps down somewhat and work shower chances in once again.

The Heat Dome will have firm grip over Texas through midweek, so things will get worse before they get better. As we near the weekend, it will shift west again taking a slight edge off of the temperatures and we're tracking our most promising rain chance in weeks on Sunday. Don and Calvin continue to weaken in the tropics, but a new robust wave is forecast to move off the coast of Africa into very warm ocean waters. Just something to watch, for now.
