Early August is usually about as hot as it gets in Southeast Texas, and the weather is playing right along this year. Look for temperatures near seasonal averages, with highs in the middle to upper 90s away from the coast, and peak heat index values up into the triple digits.
Hot and humid conditions continue into Friday with high temperatures in the 90s and heat indices well into the triple digits. Isolated to scattered storms possible along and south of I-10 during the afternoon.
It's early August, and we're making our way into the most active stretch of the Atlantic Hurricane Season! Fortunately, there is no current threat to Southeast Texas, but things are becoming more active with Tropical Storm Dexter and two more spots of potential storm development. Keep up with us and the National Hurricane Center as we continue to keep an eye on tropical weather!
A five-day weather forecast for Houston/Galveston from the National Weather Service. The image, titled "Five Day Outlook," shows an overview of the forecast and tables for maximum and minimum temperatures and probability of precipitation. The forecast is valid from August 8th to August 12th. The overview section notes "Persistence!" and describes a weather pattern with highs in the mid-90s, lows in the mid-to-upper 70s, triple-digit heat indices, and a chance of showers and storms south of I-10.

Never, never, never leave children, disabled or elderly adults, or pets in parked, unattended vehicles! Studies have shown that the temperature inside a parked vehicle can rapidly rise to dangerous levels for people and pets. Leaving the windows slightly open does not significantly decrease the heating rate. The effects can be more severe on children because their bodies have not developed the ability to efficiently regulate internal temperature.
