FOX 26 Wednesday evening weather forecast

Excessive Heat Warning continues for areas north of Houston until 9 PM. Then the entire area will be under a Heat Advisory until 9 PM Thursday. That means heat index values could still be in the danger zone around 108 or higher. So continue to be careful in the heat and avoid too much time outside in the afternoon. If you must be outside, drink plenty of water and hydrate! Heat alerts will likely get extended through the rest of the week with very limited rain. This pattern looks to hold strong through at least the first few weeks of August. Tropics are fairly quiet with no named storms in the Atlantic, Gulf of Mexico or Caribbean. Hurricane Dora continues to strengthen in the eastern Pacific but is no threat to land at this time as it moves west.
