More triple-digit temperatures are in the forecast. Combined with Houston\u2019s humidity, afternoon heat index values will climb to between 108\u00b0 and 112\u00b0. The current Heat Advisory runs through Sunday evening, and I expect it will likely be extended through the early week and as this dangerous heat wave continues.<\/p>\n<p>Heat Advisory Until 7pm Sunday<b>Triple-digit heat:<\/b><\/p>\n<p class=\"Box-_wrDxHtU__Box-sc-10sa3ie-0 Text-nO2aZ44r__TextBase-sc-s2hv5x-0 jJNfBD fSvavs article-text\">Saturday should another 100\u00b0 high in Houston. That will make four days of triple digit heat in Houston this year. Last year we had 8 100\u00b0 days in Houston. The all-time record is 46 from 2011. <\/p>\n<p>Triple Digit Heat<b>Storms Firing off North of Houston Saturday: <\/b><\/p>\n<p class=\"Box-_wrDxHtU__Box-sc-10sa3ie-0 Text-nO2aZ44r__TextBase-sc-s2hv5x-0 jJNfBD fSvavs article-text\">A frontal boundary in north Texas will send an outflow toward Houston. It looks to me like it will struggle to stay together and bring meaningful rain to southeast Texas. Our best chance of showers will be in our far northern cities Saturday and Sunday. <\/p>\n<p>Best chance of rain stays north of Houston<b>No end in sight to this unrelenting heat:<\/b><\/p>\n<p class=\"Box-_wrDxHtU__Box-sc-10sa3ie-0 Text-nO2aZ44r__TextBase-sc-s2hv5x-0 jJNfBD fSvavs article-text\">The heat is courtesy of a strong ridge of high pressure. This ridge is bringing sinking air into Houston, and as that air sinks, it gets compressed and heats up.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Box-_wrDxHtU__Box-sc-10sa3ie-0 Text-nO2aZ44r__TextBase-sc-s2hv5x-0 jJNfBD fSvavs article-text\">This pattern shows no signs of letting up through the weekend. While there is a small chance of rain Saturday, it\u2019s not enough of a change in the overall weather pattern to bring temperatures down in any meaningful way.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Box-_wrDxHtU__Box-sc-10sa3ie-0 Text-nO2aZ44r__TextBase-sc-s2hv5x-0 jJNfBD fSvavs article-text\">In other words, the heat is here to stay.<\/p>\n<p>High pressure is in firm control of our weather (Copyright 2026 by KPRC Click2Houston &#8211; All rights reserved.)<\/p>\n<p class=\"Box-_wrDxHtU__Box-sc-10sa3ie-0 Text-nO2aZ44r__TextBase-sc-s2hv5x-0 jJNfBD fSvavs article-text\"><b>Tracking the tropics:<\/b><\/p>\n<p class=\"Box-_wrDxHtU__Box-sc-10sa3ie-0 Text-nO2aZ44r__TextBase-sc-s2hv5x-0 jJNfBD fSvavs article-text\">Three areas of concerns in the Atlantic Basin.
