Sunny and hot days continue this weekend

HOUSTON, Texas (KTRK) -- It's out with the tropical moisture and rain, and in with the hot summer sun. This will keep Southeast Texas hot and dry with near triple-digit temperatures not only this weekend but next week too.

Temperatures Saturday will quickly make it into the mid-upper 90s in the afternoon. Heat index values throughout the afternoon will range between 105 to 110 at times, just below the threshold for a Heat Advisory. Make sure you wear sunscreen, stay hydrated and takes breaks to cool off form the heat if you have extended outdoor plans today. It's a bright a sunny day too after a few fair-weather cumulus that developed earlier in the day move out.

What about the weekend with the Pride Houston Parade?

It's going to be a hot, humid, and rain-free weekend. A heat dome will begin to settle in across the region over the weekend, likely giving highs a boost into the upper 90s. The heat index both Saturday and Sunday afternoon could peak near 107 degrees. There is no rain in the forecast for the weekend. Please stay hydrated and cool if you're headed to the Pride Parade. Parade time feels like temps will still be above 100.

There's really no rain in the forecast?

Rain chances are slim to none over the next few days. Dry air is over the state of Texas and a heat dome will help reinforce this drier pattern. It's not until later next week when the heat dome begins to move farther west that will allow for an increase in moisture levels from the gulf. We've got a 20% chance for rain by Friday and for the following weekend.

What's happening in the tropics?

Tropical Storm Lala passes by Hawaii Saturday and could bring hurricane force winds and flooding to the Big Island. Meanwhile there's only one wave with a low chance of developing in the Atlantic.
