Houston is set to experience warm and humid weather throughout the weekend, with temperatures reaching the upper 80s.
Those planning outdoor activities should remember to stay hydrated, use sunscreen, and aim to be outside during the cooler parts of the day. Although the likelihood of rain is low, there is a possibility of isolated afternoon showers or storms.
The Storm Prediction Center has issued a significant alert for southeastern Oklahoma, indicating a risk level of 4 out of 5 for tornadoes, damaging winds, and hail that could reach the size of baseballs. Residents in that region should ensure they have access to severe weather alerts for their safety.
Next week, a warmer pattern is anticipated with temperatures climbing into the upper 80s and possibly touching the low 90s in the Houston area. High humidity will persist, with only isolated chances of rain. By Monday, the heat index is expected to approach triple digits, so it’s important to stay hydrated and take precautions in the heat. A more significant cold front is forecasted to arrive late Friday, bringing enhanced rain chances and a welcome drop in temperatures by next weekend.
