HOUSTON \u2013 A strengthening ridge of high pressure is in control, bringing hot temperatures, fewer clouds, and no rain. The high pressure will move east into the Midwest and East Coast for 4th of July weekend, boosting temperatures above average from Chicago to Baltimore. As the high pressure moves east, heat remains in for Houston but shower and storm chances return for the start of July. <\/p>\n

Staying hot<\/p>\n

Afternoon highs will generally range from 92 to 96 degrees through much of the week, with overnight lows falling into the upper 70s and lower 80s.<\/p>\n

While this won\u2019t be an extreme heat wave by Houston standards, the lack of rainfall combined with several consecutive days of triple-digit heat indices will make for a prolonged stretch of summer heat. Most afternoons will feature heat index values between 104 and 107 degrees, and there may be isolated spots that briefly exceed those numbers. <\/p>\n

Saharan Dust Moving in:<\/p>\n

A dense plume of Saharan dust is moving into the southeast on Sunday night. The dust will settle over Houston on Monday and begin to move out on Tuesday. Expect hazy skies, potential for poor air quality, and vivid sunrises and sunsets.<\/p>\n

Rip Current Risk Monday:<\/p>\n

If you plan to cool down in any Gulf facing beaches there is a rip current risk. <\/p>\n

There are some simple things to remember if you\u2019re heading to the coast.<\/p>\n

If you can\u2019t swim or are an inexperienced swimmer, think, when the waves are high, stay dry.<\/p>\n

In calmer waters, don\u2019t let the water go above your knees. Never swim alone. If you are in doubt, don\u2019t go out, and always swim near a lifeguard.<\/p>\n

Be careful swimming in Gulf facing beaches.<\/p>\n

Tropical Trouble: <\/p>\n

Also, monitoring an area of tropical development off of the Southeast Coast. It has a low chance to form into a named storm.<\/p>\n

A low chance for development<\/p>\n

10 Day Forecast:<\/p>\n

For now, Houston\u2019s weather pattern is firmly locked into summer mode: hot afternoons, warm nights, plenty of humidity, and very few opportunities for cooling rain.<\/p>\n

The beginning of July, hit and miss daily showers and storms are possible through 4th of July. Thankfully, no widespread rainfall is expected at this time.<\/p>\n

Showers and storm chances return for the start of July<\/p>\n
