Houston weather: Hot, hazy weekend continues

Houston weather: Heat dome through the weekend

The rest of this weekend, we're looking for afternoon high temperatures to range from around 95-100 inland and near 90 along the coast.

HOUSTON - It's a hot and hazy weekend in Houston.

Steamy afternoons with isolated rain

The rest of this weekend, we're looking for afternoon high temperatures to range from around 95-100 inland and near 90 along the coast. 

This heat comes along with heat index (feels like) values as high as 106.

Saharan dust in the sky

The sky will likely appear hazy this weekend thanks to Saharan Dust. 

At this point, major changes to air quality are not expected, but the combination of ozone and light dust could raise air quality ratings from moderate to "unhealthy for sensitive groups" at times.

Heat dome breaks down next week

A large area of high pressure that is bringing us heat and steering severe storms to North/West Texas and Oklahoma will stay strong through Sunday, then start to break down as low pressure moves in from the west. 

That low will bring a complete pattern change with clouds, off and on thunder & downpours and cooler highs in the 80s next week.

Tropics remain quiet for the Gulf, Caribbean

Tropical Weather Update - June 7, 2025

FOX 26 meteorologist Remeisha Shade is tracking potential tropical storms within the next week. She also explains how the Saharan dust helps minimize the chance of tropical storm

So far, so good in the Gulf and Caribbean over the next week or so. 

The eastern Pacific Ocean (south and west coast of Mexico) looks very active over the next week or two. Three different areas are being monitored for possible tropical development, with two having a very high chance of becoming a tropical depression or tropical storm over the next few days called Invest 91-E & 92-E.  

NOAA is predicting 13-19 named storms, 6-10 hurricanes and 3-5 major hurricanes for the Atlantic Basin. Now is the time to prepare.
