Mother’s Day Weekend:

This is not a good gift for mom. Our temperatures will challenge record highs from 1998 and 1967 and the heat index in the afternoon will range from 100-104 degrees. Flowers will wilt. Chocolate will melt. Our bodies aren’t used to these kind of temperatures yet, so make sure you find a way to stay cool.

It's going to be sizzling hot this Mother's Day. (Copyright 2022 by KPRC Click2Houston - All rights reserved.)
