Published July 24, 2026 6:38 AM CDT

After Tropical Storm Bertha brought rain and flash flooding to the Houston area on Thursday, things have quieted down a bit.

Bertha fades away

Bertha has dissipated, but lingering tropical moisture will keep conditions muggy and breezy today. A few showers remain possible before rain chances decrease. 

Weekend warm-up

The weekend will be warm and steamy with highs climbing through the mid and upper 90s. Most of the area should remain rain-free, with triple-digit feel-like temperatures each afternoon. 

Triple-digit heat ahead

A stronger heat wave kicks in next week as sunshine increases and rain chances remain low. Actual temperatures could reach or exceed 100 degrees, with even higher heat index values.
