HOUSTON, Texas (KTRK) — Another hot and muggy day coming up for Sunday with just a slight chance for rain.
We will start off the day with temperatures in the low 70s but will quickly rise into the low 90s by the afternoon. Heat index values will near or just exceed 100. We could also see a few showers and storms Sunday but overall rain will remain isolated.
What does the weather look like for the rest of the weekend?
Sunday will be almost identical to Saturday. The main difference is there will be less moisture in the afternoon, leading to just a 20% chance for a shower or thunderstorm.
With astronomical fall starting next week, will it actually feel like it?
Nope. In fact, it’s only going to get hotter as the week goes on. A strong heat ridge is going to build over Texas and the southeast United States that could break record highs. There’s even an outside chance that triple-digit heat will return to parts of Southeast Texas, so keep that fall wardrobe in the closet for next week.
What’s happening in the tropics?
Tropical Storm Fiona is churning toward the Caribbean, and Tropical Storm Watches and Warnings are out for the Virgin Islands and Puerto Rico. It looks increasingly unlikely that this will end up in the Gulf of Mexico, but we’ll be keeping an eye on it. For the very latest check out our daily tropical update.
