Houston Weather: Scattered showers still possible, but intense heat is the focus all week-long

Aside from a very isolated shower or storm far north today and tomorrow, hot and dry conditions are taking over. Heat precautions will need to be taken all week long, but especially toward the end of the week when we soar toward record values both for daytime highs and overnight lows. Our first 100+ degree day normally doesn't occur until mid-July, so this is about a month ahead of schedule and a week before summer officially begins. The Tropical Atlantic remains quiet at this time.
