Heat advisory continues | Fox Houston Weather Forecast

We hit the triple digits in Houston for the 6th day in a row yesterday and today, we'll get close. Our wind direction will be slightly different today from the southeast, so expect very high humidity and highs at least in the upper 90s. A heat advisory is in effect until 10pm. Watch for isolated showers and storms mainly near the coastline and south of Houston. Elsewhere in Texas, extreme heat continues for Central Texas after Austin hit 109 on Wednesday and that area will head back into the 100s again today. By this weekend and especially next week, steering currents will point in our direction from the Gulf of Mexico, so rain chances will increase and temperatures will return to normal. Also, we'll closely monitor the Gulf for any signs of tropical development. Elsewhere, the Atlantic Ocean is still in Saharan dust mode with no organized systems and in the Pacific, a hurricane will approach Hawaii this weekend.
