More heat, humidity and triple-digit temps:
We hit 100° again on Sunday afternoon, marking the fourth time this week and the fifth time this summer that Houston has reached the century mark. More triple-digit temperatures are in the forecast. Combined with Houston’s humidity, afternoon heat index values will climb to between 108° and 112°. The current Heat Advisory runs through Monday evening, and I expect it will likely be extended through at least Wednesday as this dangerous heat wave continues.
Stuck in the triple digitsMonday’s Forecast:
Monday headed for another 100° high in Houston. If temperatures heat to the triple digits, that will make six days of 100° + heat in Houston this year. Last year we had 8 100° days in Houston. The all-time record is 46 from 2011.
Another hot day MondayLate Week:
Late in the week, the strong ridge of high pressure moves west, opening the door for more Gulf moisture and a weak disturbance to increase rain chances starting Thursday. However, temperatures will remain in the upper 90s.
I’m watching cloud cover Thursday; too many clouds could obstruct the view of the partial lunar eclipse.
