Tropical update: Saharan dust hinders developments
Saharan dust is still hindering big time tropical systems from developing in the Atlantic for now. No tropical systems are expected over the next seven days with some drier air in place across the Atlantic. Caribbean Sea and Gulf of Mexico remain quiet also. Don't let your guard down because we are close to September which is typically the busiest month of hurricane season. Things could get going in a hurry so stay alert!

Heat advisory continues | Fox Houston Weather Forecast
We hit the triple digits in Houston for the 6th day in a row yesterday and today, we'll get close. Our wind direction will be slightly different today from the southeast, so expect very high humidity and highs at least in the upper 90s. A heat advisory is in effect until 10pm. Watch for isolated showers and storms mainly near the coastline and south of Houston. Elsewhere in Texas, extreme heat continues for Central Texas after Austin hit 109 on Wednesday and that area will head back into the 100s again today. By this weekend and especially next week, steering currents will point in our direction from the Gulf of Mexico, so rain chances will increase and temperatures will return to normal. Also, we'll closely monitor the Gulf for any signs of tropical development. Elsewhere, the Atlantic Ocean is still in Saharan dust mode with no organized systems and in the Pacific, a hurricane will approach Hawaii this weekend.

5th Day of triple digits | Fox 26 Houston Weather Forecast
The heat is on! Today, our heat advisory has been upgraded to an Excessive Heat Warning. High temperatures today will exceed 100? in most inland areas with a heat index of 113 or higher, so stay in the AC as much as possible. Today will make the 5th day in a row of triple digits in Houston. When will we get some relief from all this heat? By this weekend, the dome of high pressure over Texas will weaken and an upper-level area of low pressure will move in from the Gulf (not a tropical system), so expect more clouds, showers and some thunderstorms, especially bu Sunday and Monday. The tropics remain very quiet as Ernesto moves quickly into the cold North Atlantic and there are no interesting tropical waves elsewhere. Don't let your guard down, because many more hurricanes are expected as we get to the end of August and through September.
