HOUSTON, Texas (KTRK) — The heat is on this weekend, and it will be so abnormally hot and humid for early May that the National Weather Service has issued a Heat Advisory for Saturday from noon to 7 p.m.
A heat ridge will settle in over the weekend bringing the hottest weather so far this year and possibly the hottest Mother’s Day weekend on record for Houston. High temperatures will be as much as 10 degrees above normal and challenge record highs through next week. You’ll want to take the necessary precautions from this heat and keep an eye on your pets and loved ones.
What can we expect for Mother’s Day weekend?
We expect extreme heat for early May as temperatures soar into the 90s and 100s across most of Texas. We are predicting Saturday’s record high of 94-degrees will fall and Sunday’s record high of 96-degrees will be challenged. Factor in the humidity, and heat indices will peak between 100-105. Make sure Mom stays cool and well-hydrated!
When we could get more rain?
Well…don’t hold your breath. The heat ridge building in this weekend will park over us next week, keeping us hot and dry until next weekend at the earliest.
