>> WE’RE TRACKING A BUILDING HEAT WAVE THIS WEEKEND WEST AND SOUTHWEST. AREAS SHADED IN PINK THOSE ARE EXCESSIVE HEAT WARNINGS. DANGEROUS HEAT AND HUMIDITY BUILDING TO OUR SOUTHWEST. YOU CAN SEE THAT WITH THE NUMBERS. 99 DEGREES, THAT’S THE ACTUAL TEMPERATURE IN HOUSTON. WE’RE SITTING AT A COMFORTABLE 93. I SAY COMFORTABLE BECAUSE CHECK OUT THE DEW POINTS. WE’VE GOT DEW POINTS DROPPING INTO THE LOWER 60’S. WE HAVE THOSE TEMPERATURES ALREADY CLOSE TO 100 OR IN THE MID 70’S. NOT ONLY IS IT HOT OUT TO THE WEST, IT’S ALSO VERY HUMID.

AND BY TOMORROW IT GIVES THE MOUNTAIN COMMUNITY AS SLIGHT CHANCE OF A FEW ISOLATED STRONG STORMS. MAIN THREAT WILL BE DAMAGING WINDS, FREQUENT LIGHTNING AND DOWNPOURS. IT’S GOING TO GET HOT THROUGHOUT THE DAY WHILE MOST OF US YOU WILL STAY DRY. BUT HERE COMES THAT FRONT. ONE OR TWO OF THE STORMS COULD SURVIVE INTO THE MOUNTAINS AND COULD PRODUCE SOME GUSTY WINDS.
