Houston is starting Saturday clear and around 75 degrees, but the city is headed for another hot afternoon with a high near 95. The morning should stay sunny and relatively manageable before the heat builds through the afternoon.

East winds will remain light, generally between 0 and 10 mph, and rain is not expected Saturday. The National Weather Service Houston/Galveston says lower humidity will make the heat feel less oppressive than it has recently, though 95 degrees is still plenty warm for outdoor plans.

Humidity Returns Sunday With A Few Storm Chances

Sunday will stay mostly sunny with another high near 94, but humidity will return and the heat index could reach 101. A slight chance of showers and thunderstorms is expected between 1 p.m. and 4 p.m., with a 20% chance of precipitation overall.

Monday remains hot near 95 with another small afternoon storm chance, while Tuesday and Wednesday should be sunny with highs around 95. The outlook turns a little less hot and drier by Thursday and Friday, when highs are expected to be in the lower 90s.

No Watches Or Warnings For Houston

No watches, warnings or advisories are posted for the Houston area. Anyone spending time outside this weekend should plan around the afternoon heat, drink plenty of water and keep an eye on the sky Sunday and Monday when quick pop-up storms become possible.
