FOX 26 Thursday evening weather forecast

Air Quality Alert has been extended through Friday evening for higher ozone levels and a Heat Advisory is in effect through 9 PM this evening. Heat Index values could approach 112 so be careful as you enjoy time outside! Some changes are on the way though with a few strong to severe storms possible Friday PM. Best chance will be NE of Houston from around 3-9 PM. Our best chance for rain appears to come Saturday where we could get two rounds of showers and storms. one in the morning and another in the afternoon. This could mean some beneficial rain and drought relief. Look for one more day of record setting heat before temperatures gradually start to cool off as we go through next week. Rain chances will also stick around for much of next week as well.
