Our northern and western areas are in an Excessive Heat Warning, which means the actual temperatures will reach 105 with the “Feels Like” temps between 108-114 degrees!
Record highs in Houston Sunday :
Records have been kept in Houston since 1889 and Sunday we tied the all-time July record high. We hit 105 degrees at Bush Intercontinental. We also set record highs from Galveston to College Station.
10-day Forecast:
The area of high pressure that is brining this dangerous heat moves northeast Tuesday. That movement will lower temperatures slightly and also allow for a chance of rain this week.
