Heat advisory in effect | Fox 26 Houston Weather Forecast

Surprise...it's going to be really hot again. This won't come as a shock since it is August after all, but we are under a heat advisory once again until 8pm. watch for a few pop-up storms this afternoon and tomorrow afternoon, but they will be isolated and won't help with temperatures very much. In the extended forecast, don't expect many changes as high pressure builds overhead and allows us to heat to near 100 each day through the weekend. In the tropics, Hurricane Ernesto will get larger and stronger today as it heads toward Bermuda. They could take a direct hit late tomorrow and Ernesto could be a major hurricane by then. There won't be a direct impact on the US, but large waves will eventually cause some dangerous surf. The eastern provinces of Canada like Nova Scotia and Newfoundland will get a very quick brush with Ernesto this weekend.
