Houston weather: Heat index to hit 100s for Wednesday, rain chances for Friday

These sunny and steamy conditions will continue for a short while, so make sure you're staying safe in the heat.

Hot & rain-free today and tomorrow

We’ll face hot conditions for the next two days with highs in the mid to upper 90s and a heat index in the triple digits.

Expect mostly sunny skies with minimal rain chances, so stay hydrated and be careful not to overdo it outside.

Storms arrive late Friday

Tropical moisture will bring scattered showers and thunderstorms beginning late Friday, especially along the coast. Heavy rainfall is possible in spots from then through Saturday.

Possible weak Gulf low

The National Hurricane Center now has a minimal chance for a tropical depression or storm to form in the Gulf by Friday, but keep in mind that even weak, disorganized systems can bring heavy downpours, so check back daily for updates on this plume of moisture.
