HOUSTON – Get ready to feel the heat! KPRC’s meteorologist Justin Stapleton reports that the record-setting temperatures are here to stay for a while longer. Expect the thermometer to hover around 95 to 97 degrees today, with heat index values making it feel like 100 to 105 degrees in certain areas. It’s crucial to stay cautious and hydrated during this heatwave.
High pressure and breezy conditions
Yesterday’s strong wind offered a small respite from what could have been even hotter conditions.
This hot breeze is expected to continue through today, providing slight relief from the intense heat. However, a large dome of high pressure in the Gulf is blocking incoming rain, leading to persistently dry conditions.
Looking ahead: Waiting on a cool down ...
For those eagerly awaiting a break from the sweltering heat, there is a glimmer of hope. A cold front is projected to make its way through early next week, possibly ushering in slightly cooler temps with highs in the upper 80s to low 90s. While it’s uncertain how significant this change will be, it could mean a brief period of relief.
