Heat advisory continues | Fox Houston Weather Forecast
We hit the triple digits in Houston for the 6th day in a row yesterday and today, we'll get close. Our wind direction will be slightly different today from the southeast, so expect very high humidity and highs at least in the upper 90s. A heat advisory is in effect until 10pm. Watch for isolated showers and storms mainly near the coastline and south of Houston. Elsewhere in Texas, extreme heat continues for Central Texas after Austin hit 109 on Wednesday and that area will head back into the 100s again today. By this weekend and especially next week, steering currents will point in our direction from the Gulf of Mexico, so rain chances will increase and temperatures will return to normal. Also, we'll closely monitor the Gulf for any signs of tropical development. Elsewhere, the Atlantic Ocean is still in Saharan dust mode with no organized systems and in the Pacific, a hurricane will approach Hawaii this weekend.

Heat index hits 112°F | Fox 26 Houston Forecast
Houston has hit 100 degrees for five days in a row and today could make day six. Even if we "only" hit 99, it will still continue a heat wave that will continue through the end of the week. Each day will bring a very slight chance for an isolated storms or two, but by early next week, low pressure will move in and bring more clouds, showers and temperatures closer to average. In the meantime, our heat index could reach as high as 112 today, so stay in the air conditioning as much as possible. Amazingly pleasant weather has moved into the Midwest and East Coast where lows this morning dropped to the 50s. In the tropics, Ernesto is gone and there is nothing urgent in the short term with Saharan dust across the Atlantic Ocean and no impressive tropical waves for now. In the Pacific Ocean, a hurricane could form and threaten Hawaii later this week.

5th Day of triple digits | Fox 26 Houston Weather Forecast
The heat is on! Today, our heat advisory has been upgraded to an Excessive Heat Warning. High temperatures today will exceed 100° in most inland areas with a heat index of 113 or higher, so stay in the AC as much as possible. Today will make the 5th day in a row of triple digits in Houston. When will we get some relief from all this heat? By this weekend, the dome of high pressure over Texas will weaken and an upper-level area of low pressure will move in from the Gulf (not a tropical system), so expect more clouds, showers and some thunderstorms, especially bu Sunday and Monday. The tropics remain very quiet as Ernesto moves quickly into the cold North Atlantic and there are no interesting tropical waves elsewhere. Don't let your guard down, because many more hurricanes are expected as we get to the end of August and through September.
