The first major heatwave of the season is upon us with triple digit temperatures expected for much of the next week! When you factor in the humidity, heat index values could soar higher than 110 Thursday! HEAT ADVISORY continues until 7 PM this evening for Houston and surrounding areas. National Weather Service has also issued another HEAT ADVISORY from Noon until 8 PM Thursday for much of SE Texas including Houston. HEAT INDEX VALUES could get up to 112 for parts of the area. Make sure to stay out of the sun as much as possible, drink plenty of water & take frequent breaks while working outside. Also try to get work done early in the day or in the evening and avoid working outside in the middle of the day. Triple digit temperatures are forecast Thursday through the middle of next week with record breaking heat most likely on Friday and Saturday. An isolated storm could clip our northern counties but most will stay dry for much of the next week. Download our FOX 26 WX App for the latest on this dangerous heat event and stay safe!
