Fox 26 Houston Weather Forecast

Again, welcome back to school for even more kids across the area - it's going to be another very hot one with a heat advisory in effect until 8pm today. Highs should hit the upper 90s with a heat index topping out between 104 and 109. Highs all across our region will head into the upper 90s and low 100s and that pattern will remain in place for at least a week. Ernesto will get stronger today and tomorrow as it moves away from Puerto Rico and toward Bermuda. It could hit major hurricane strength late this week and a cat 3 or 4 is not out of the question. Elsewhere, we have a lot of Saharan dust in the Atlantic which is suppressing activity for now.
