While our weather will remain very humid and hotter than normal for the next several days, there will be a decent chance for isolated storms each day. With the hit and miss nature of the expected downpours, there won't be much of an impact on the heat wave. We are on pace for the warmest July on record for both Houston and Galveston and there aren't any significant changes in sight.

The chances for rain are low but at least there are some chances for southeast Texas for the start of the weekend. The latest Drought Monitor has over 98% of Texas impacted by the lack of rain. Slightly higher chances for rain around Tuesday and Wednesday of next week.

No tropical cyclones are expected to develop during the next 5 days in the Atlantic Basin. Over in the Pacific, Estelle is falling apart well to the west of the southern tip of the Baja California peninsula.

Once again a heat advisory is in effect areawide through 8 p.m. as highs will range from 95-105 today. Over the next few days, subtle changes in the location of the big ridge of high pressure, the so-called heat dome, could allow a few scattered late-day storms here, but don't expect much relief from the ongoing heat wave. The tropics remain quiet.

The heat wave continues for Southeast Texas but the peak for now has been reached. At this time, no heat advisories are expected for Thursday around the Houston area. It will still be very hot! But not enough heat for alerts to be issued by the National Weather Service. Isolated storms should return to the area on Friday and slightly higher rain chances for next week.

How many hurricanes have formed in the Atlantic Basin so far this season? Meteorologist John Dawson has the answer on today's tropical update.

Houston has reached highs of 100 or higher 11 times this month and 16 times this year - we will likely add to those totals today. Look for a familiar weather day with sunshine, hot breezes and highs in the low 100s. There is a very small chance for rain today, but isolated late-day storms are more likely beginning Thursday through the weekend. Elevated fire risk continues for areas north and west of Houston, but burn bans are in effect for our entire area until further notice.

Extreme heat continues across Southeast Texas and should be around for several more days. The Northwest Counties in the FOX26 area will be under an Excessive Heat Warning for Wednesday and the rest of the area under a Heat Advisory. Use caution with any strenuous activities outdoors. There will be low chances for isolated rain as we move towards the end of the week.

The Atlantic Basin remain quiet with no development expected over the next several days. In the Pacific, there is lots to discuss!

Extreme heat continues across Texas again today and through the extended forecast along with a worsening drought and increasing threats for wildfires. All-time record heat has affected Europe including the warmest night on record in England - and they've been recording temperature records since the 1600s! Otherwise, locally, the forecast stays familiar with highs near 100 and heat advisories through at least Wednesday. A few showers are possible by the end of the week.
