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

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.

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

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.
