Intense Heat This Week:

We’re back for another stretch of intense heat for the entire work week. Highs for the next five days will be sitting at or around 100 each afternoon! Now is the time to take precautions if you are going to be in the midday heat and humidity.

Hot High Pressure Brings The Heat:

The culprit for this intense heat that we would normally see closer to August than June is a very strong ridge or center of high pressure that is advancing over the state of Texas from northern Mexico. With the hot high pressure in control of our weather pattern, highs will be near 100 each day, feeling like 106-116!

Most of the area is under an Excessive Heat Warning and a Heat Advisory through tonight.

Tracking the Tropics:

Cindy is a remnant low. That means it no longer possesses any tropical organization. A small area of storms west of Cindy has a 30% chance of becoming our next named tropical system. It is moving north. If you don’t have our KPRC Hurricane Tracker 2 App, now is the time to download it.

10-Day Forecast:

The unrelenting dangerous heat is with us through Friday. The dome of high pressure breaks down and moves east this weekend. Next week we’ll have more seasonable temperatures with a chance of afternoon storms by the Fourth of July.
