Tropical Storm Arthur made landfall this afternoon in Matagorda County and will quickly weaken as it moves NE farther inland.
The threat of heavy rain has come to an end with the flash flood risk shifting east. Winds are settling down, and the pattern will shift from tropical downpours to dangerous heat.

As rain chances become very limited and the heat increases, a Heat Advisory has been issued for Houston Thursday and Friday.

Please be careful in the heat at Fifa Fan Fest & other outdoor events. Drink plenty of water and take breaks in the shade.
Summer heat builds
The pattern finally becomes more typical for June. That means hotter and more humid weather returns, with highs climbing back into the lower and middle 90s and only isolated showers or storms possible by the weekend.
Some spots could soar to the upper 90s by the middle of next week. Get ready!
