Houston weather: Hot, warm temperatures expected through the weekend

HOUSTON – The heat will be on for much of the weekend across the Houston area. 

SUMMER HEAT FOR MATCH DAYS

Typical June heat continues across Houston for tonight’s World Cup match and again for Monday’s game. Highs stay in the 90s with heat index values above 100 each afternoon, so fans heading to the stadium or FIFA Fan Fest should plan for steamy conditions.

DUSTY SKIES LINGER

Saharan dust remains likely across Southeast Texas, which could give the sky a hazy or milky look at times. Expect a noticeable increase in hazy skies on Monday with the thickest plume of dust moving overhead. Rain chances stay low, but the heat and humidity will make it feel more uncomfortable during the afternoon and early evening.
