HOUSTON – The summer heat in the Houston area will make things very warm for those attending FIFA Fan Fest on Saturday.
SUMMER HEAT GREETS THE CROWDS
Hot and humid weather continues across Houston for FIFA Fan Fest, with highs in the 90s and heat index values likely climbing above 100 at times. A few spotty showers are possible the rest of today and Saturday, but the bigger story will be the steamy feel for anyone spending time outside. Remember to drink lots of water and try to find spots in the shade at times to get a break from the direct sun.
RAIN CHANCES RISE FOR MATCH DAY
Storm chances look more likely by World Cup Sunday as deeper moisture moves into Southeast Texas. It does not look like an all day washout, but scattered showers and storms could impact outdoor plans with brief heavy rain and lightning. Best chance for downpours and storms will be during the afternoon and early evening. Make sure you are ready to get inside of a building quickly if you start to see lightning or hear thunder!

A WETTER PATTERN SETS UP
A weak tropical low and front dropping in from the north will send moisture our way early next week fueling more widespread downpours. Some storms could produce heavy rain in a short amount of time, raising the risk for quick street flooding where showers linger or repeatedly move over the same areas.
