Heat Advisory with a few storms for July 4th

HOUSTON, Texas (KTRK) -- Happy steamy 4th of July! A Heat Advisory has been issued for Harris county, and area wide the feels-like temps could reach 106 degrees or hotter this afternoon. There's also a chance for some storms, though I'm optimistic we'll be mostly dry by fireworks time.

How hot will it get this weekend?

High temps will rise to the middle 90s, a degree or two above normal. High humidity levels will make it feel much hotter than that, so do what you can to keep yourself cool and hydrated.

What's the latest timing on Saturday's rain?

The window for the scattered showers and storms Saturday is from 3pm to 7pm. Most of the rain will be gone by fireworks time.

What are you tracking in the tropics?

Quiet in the Atlantic as another large plume of Saharan dust is in place. In the Pacific, tropical storm Douglas has dissipated. Visit our Tropical Update page for a more in-depth tropical weather discussion and forecast.
