Summer continues to do what summer does, but cooling showers are in the forecast

HOUSTON, Texas (KTRK) -- Our highs will flirt with record territory the rest of this week, but we do have a chance for heat-relieving showers by the weekend. Until then, it's mostly dry with the humidity and heat combo near dangerous levels.

Temperatures Wednesday morning will dip down into the upper 70s, which is near normal for late July. With plenty of sunshine under a partly cloudy sky, temperatures rise quickly into the 90s and peak near 100. Feels like temps will be just shy of meeting the 108-degree threshold for a Heat Advisory.

How hot will it get this week?

We expect a few days this week with triple digit heat thanks to that summertime heat dome. Morning low temperatures will still be in the upper 70s, giving us some time to enjoy the day before the true heat sets in during the afternoon.

When will the rain chance return?

A summer cool front will get close enough to us by the weekend to warrant at least a 30% chance of rain late Saturday and a 40% chance on Sunday. There's also the chance a few showers and storms could be on the strong side, especially Saturday night.
