FOX 26 Houston Weather Forecast

We have two main weather issues we are focusing on today.... the dangerous heat building and the threat for a few severe storms tonight. There are still thousands across SE Texas still without power from last Thursday's deadly storms and the heat is creating dangerous conditions. Look for the possibility of a few strong to severe storms making it into our northern counties tonight before weakening. Chance is low but strong winds and hail will be main threats along with a few heavy downpours. Best chance will be The Woodlands and areas north through midnight. We then transition to hot, steamy and mostly dry weather heading into the holiday weekend. Rain chances Thursday - Monday will only be around 10% but the heat will be building. Look for temperatures to soar to the middle to upper 90s this weekend with heat index values of 105+ by Sunday. That means a Heat Advisory could be right around the corner for the Houston area. So drink lots of water, take breaks and try to find a cooling center if you are still without power.
