FOX 26 Houston Weather Forecast
After 16 days straight of heat advisories, we are finally getting a break. It will still be hot this week with temperatures close to 100 but the humidity will be a little lower to keep heat index values below advisory criteria. Look for isolated showers and storms every afternoon and evening with a few heavy downpours possible. The Saharan Dust is building in to SE Texas but is not expected to cause major air quality issues at this point. But if you have asthma or other respiratory problems, the dust may be a bit of a nuisance and irritant. But most folks will not be impacted.

Finally, we have a decent chance for showers or storms in the forecast, but unfortunately the overall heat wave is not going to break. Today will be hot with a slight chance for a late day shower. With a light west wind Saturday, temps could spike into the low 100s before our best chance for storms late Saturday and through Sunday. Next week - more highs near 100.

Parts of the Houston area may need a Heat Advisory for Monday but it will not be widespread. That is good news that Southeast Texas is seeing a slight drop in temperatures. Mostly that is because the "heat dome" is further west allowing for more clouds and pop up afternoon thunderstorms. Look for a round of Saharan dust to put some haze in the Houston skies on Tuesday and Wednesday.

A shift in the huge heat dome we've had over Texas for most of the past month should allow some storms by late today. Watch for highs today to possibly spike to the low 100s, but scattered storms are expected off and on from late afternoon through Sunday. Despite the chance for storms, our heat wave isn't really breaking. Highs should remain in the upper 90s through next week.

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.

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.

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.
