Fewer storms and hotter temps this week

HOUSTON, Texas (KTRK) — The heat ridge is back, which means we’ll have fewer storms and hotter temperatures in the days to come. Our northern counties will have the highest rain chance, but even that chance will be low.

The highest heat index values will be in our western counties. A Heat Advisory from 1 pm to 8 pm Tuesday. Heat index values up to 110 expected for inland Jackson, Austin, Brazos, Burleson, Colorado, Grimes, Waller, Washington, and Wharton counties.

By Wednesday morning, we’ll have to monitor, a complex of storms that will approach our northern counties bringing a few scattered showers and storms to our area. The strength of these storms are still uncertain. We’ll continue to keep an eye on it!

Just how intense is this heat going to get?

As temperatures approach the middle 90s this week, feels-like temps will get close to the danger level of 108.
