HOUSTON - Highs are in the low-to-mid 90s for Friday, but the morning is starting out cloudy and muggy before becoming hot and breezy.

Houston hit another record high of 95 degrees on Thursday - the third record in a row, and today's record high of 94 will likely be tied or broken.

In addition, humidity will remain summer-like and rain chances are low for the immediate Houston area. Heat index values each day through the weekend and early next week will linger near 100 in the afternoons.
