High pressure strengthens<\/p>\n
Heading into the upcoming work week, high-atmospheric pressure is expected to move closer to the Houston area. High-pressure causes air to sink to the surface, where it compresses, warms, and forces temperatures higher.<\/p>\n

On Monday, high temperatures for much of the Houston metro area will top out in the upper 90s, and a few isolated locations could even touch 100 degrees. Heat index values will also stay very high, likely hovering near 105 degrees. Winds will be weak, only blowing in at 5-10 mph.<\/p>\n
Very similar conditions are expected from Tuesday through Friday, as high temperatures are expected to top out in the upper 90s each day, with isolated triple digit temperatures also possible. Low temperatures will also stay consistent, only falling to the upper 70s to near 80 degrees each morning.<\/p>\n
An isolated shower or weak storm can\u2019t be completely ruled out, especially as the weak Gulf disturbance approaches the central Gulf Coast. However, overall rain chances in Houston are likely to be at just 10% or less.<\/p>\n

Many other parts of Texas will see even hotter weather. This includes the Dallas-Fort Worth Area, which is likely to see high temperatures between 101 and 104 degrees every day this week. Areas along the Rio Grande, from Eagle Pass to Laredo and the Rio Grande Valley, will also experience similar triple-digit heat.<\/p>\n
Long-range weather models suggest this hot and dry pattern is likely to continue through next weekend and into the following week. The Climate Prediction Center\u2019s outlook for July 25-31 highlights a strong likelihood of above-average temperatures across Southeast Texas, with an increased chance of triple-digit highs also developing.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"A disturbance is spinning across the eastern Gulf, as seem from satellite imagery at 1 p.m. Saturday.
