News about heat wave, Texas

Here's a mid-day look at where we stand with heat index values around the area. HIs are already above 100 across virtually the entire area, and we still have a few more hours this afternoon to push temperatures and heat index values up higher.

It's a very sunny holiday, and coming along with it are unusually hot and humid conditions - even by our hearty SE Texas standards. Many will flock to the beach to beat the heat, where you'll want to mind the potential for dangerous rip currents. pic.twitter.com/jlPTXuKNkj

In addition to the storm threat, a Heat Advisory was needed today for our southern counties for one more day of elevated heat index values. pic.twitter.com/TQnK0OKh2P

One last day of excessive heat can be expected today. Isolated thunderstorm chances return late today. While a strong storm can't be ruled out this afternoon, slightly higher chances for strong to severe storms is expected Tuesday. Damaging winds and hail are the main risks. pic.twitter.com/JE9nobHzIg
