HOUSTON, Texas — Sunday is shaping up to be another brutal day across the Houston area.
Hot, humid, and stormy — the pattern that has defined the past few days is not going anywhere.
Triple-Digit Heat Index Before Noon
Temperatures will climb back into the 90s this afternoon.
But the real story is how it feels outside. By 11 a.m., the heat index — what the air actually feels like on your skin — will already be in the triple digits.
That means dangerous heat before lunchtime. Limit time outdoors if you can, especially for children, the elderly, and anyone working outside.
Rain Arrives in the Afternoon
Relief from the heat comes with a catch — storms.
Around 1 p.m., spotty showers will begin popping up across the area. As the afternoon goes on, those scattered showers will intensify.
A heavy downpour is possible. Isolated thunderstorms cannot be ruled out either.
If you have outdoor plans, keep a close eye on conditions and be ready to move inside quickly.
Saharan Dust Is Heading This Way
By Friday, a dense plume of Saharan Dust is expected to push into Texas and sweep across Southeast Houston.
This is not just a sky-watching event — there are real health impacts to know about.
People with asthma, respiratory conditions, or any breathing sensitivity should take extra precautions when the dust arrives. Allergy symptoms are also likely to flare up for many residents across the area.
On the brighter side — literally — the dust scatters light in a way that can make sunsets look vivid and unusually colorful. Worth stepping outside for a photo, just keep the air quality in mind.
Stay weather-aware this Sunday, Houston. Are you planning to brave the heat or staying in? Let us know in the comments.
