Weather ⛅
TODAY: 92° TONIGHT: 87°
KPRC Meteorologist Justin Stapleton says:
“Tuesday will bring more of the same: hot, humid, and mostly sunny with a few hit-or-miss showers and storms possible during the afternoon and early evening. Highs will climb into the mid-to-upper 90s, but it will feel hotter, with heat index values around 105 to 106 degrees. Rain chances will be around 30 percent, so this is not a widespread rain day. However, any storm that does develop could bring a quick downpour, brief gusty winds, and lightning. Just like we saw over the weekend, rainfall totals may vary dramatically from one neighborhood to the next.”
