Cooling centers: Where to find relief in Houston as SE Texas under Heat Advisory over the weekend

HOUSTON, Texas (KTRK) -- The City of Houston plans to open several cooling centers across the area over the weekend to relieve residents from the incoming heat and rising temperatures.

A Heat Advisory is in effect for most of Southeast Texas until 7 p.m. Saturday due to heat index values exceeding 108.

The heat is said to be a continuation of an intense start to spring and early summer weather.

In southern counties, ABC13 has learned that intense flooding severely damaged a Matagorda road. W. Revetment Road. This road is the only access to a public boat ramp. Local law enforcement said tropical storm Alberto washed it out.

Authorities are on high alert for the Trinity River as flooding has impacted the dam, which has triggered a potential dam failure watch. Although, as of now, there is no immediate threat.
