Houston is starting Sunday in the low 80s, but the brief early-morning cloud cover will give way to a hot, sunny afternoon. The high is expected to reach 97 degrees, with little chance of rain across the city.
The National Weather Service expects light winds to shift from the west and northwest while temperatures climb through the 90s. Sunday night should be mostly clear, with a low near 78 and a light south wind.
Monday Brings Another Run At 100
The heat intensifies Monday, when Houston could reach 99 degrees and the heat index may rise as high as 104. Tuesday should be nearly as hot at 98, followed by highs near 96 Wednesday and 95 Thursday through Saturday.
Ozone Alert Runs Through Sunday Evening
The Texas Commission on Environmental Quality has issued an Ozone Action Day for the Houston-Galveston-Brazoria area through Sunday evening. Residents can help limit pollution by carpooling, combining errands, avoiding drive-through lines, conserving energy and keeping vehicles properly tuned, as outlined in TCEQ guidance.
Rain Chances Stay Slim For Most Of The Week
Houston's rain chances remain close to zero through Wednesday, although a slight chance of showers and thunderstorms arrives after 1 p.m. Thursday and Friday. A lingering boundary could still spark an isolated shower or storm near the coast or offshore, while inland Houston remains mostly dry and relentlessly warm.
