Very hot weather for the first days of school

HOUSTON, Texas (KTRK) — Temperatures will warm to the upper 90s both Monday and Tuesday, the first two school days for HISD. The hottest part of the day will be when the kids are getting out of school so they will need to be well hydrated. Feels like temps will approach 105 during that time as well.

You won’t be able to cool off with any showers either. Rain chances will be less than 20% both days.

What can we expect for back to school weather on Monday?
Expect some sweaty kids at recess! Temperatures will again soar to the upper 90s on Monday, and it’s possible a Heat Advisory could be issued for the first day of school. The good news is you won’t have to worry about any rain at drop off and pick up times.

When will the heat end?
October. All kidding aside, high temperatures will top out near 100 through Wednesday, then a higher chance of cooling downpours will return. We still expect highs in the 90s all week, but it will be more mid 90s than upper 90s.

What’s the early outlook for next weekend?
Next weekend we’ll be watching a big batch of tropical moisture moving toward Texas that could bring even higher rain chances for the last few days of August.

Is there anything to be concerned about in the tropics?
There are no concerns for Texas over the next five days, but we will be closely monitoring that area of tropical moisture mentioned above for potential tropical development. Meanwhile, Henri is made landfall on Sunday and heavy rain and flooding will continue to plague New England through Tuesday.
