FOX 26 Houston Weather Forecast: Heat continues on Friday

Hot, hazy and humid weather still persists across Houston with temperatures expected to soar to near 100 the next few days. The Saharan dust plume is not quite as thick today but will still bring some haze through Friday. Air quality is in the "moderate " category today which could impact those that are extremely sensitive to the dust in the air. But most should not be impacted. Heat index values will likely be near 105-108 through the weekend. So Heat advisories can't be ruled out for parts of SE Texas. High pressure will break down enough to allow for a few showers & storms by this weekend. Next chance for rain will be Subday & Monday. Invest 97-L in the SW Atlantic now has a HIGH 70% chance for development over the next week and is expected to threaten Florida possibly as a hurricane by Sunday and Monday.
