Saturday’s Forecast:

Saturday will be hot! Temperatures will climb up to the upper-90s under partly cloudy skies. There is a very isolated chance for showers, less than 10% mainly by the coast.

Saharan Dust through the weekend:

Saharan dust will be with us through the weekend, but will start to mix out Sunday night. Dust affects us in a few ways. First, it lowers air quality, bringing hazy skies. Second, it brings dry sinking air, and this suppresses rain from forming. One way to tell this isn’t an incredibly thick plume of dust is we’ve still had a few showers the past few days and air quality has been moderate, not dangerous.

10-Day Forecast:

The hot high-pressure dome will be moving back over SE Texas this weekend. Drier and hotter weather is expected next week - the hottest we’ve seen this year. Stay hydrated by drinking plenty of water throughout the day, take frequent breaks in shaded areas to cool down, and wear light-colored, loose-fitting clothing to allow better airflow.
