Houston, Texas – Southeast Texas residents are bracing for another week of dangerous heat and daily afternoon thunderstorms, as temperatures soar into the upper 90s and low 100s from Houston to College Station.
According to the National Weather Service Houston/Galveston, maximum temperatures will climb as high as 98°F in League City and Livingston, with Houston holding steady at 94°F through Monday, July 14. Overnight lows will remain muggy, rarely dropping below the upper 70s except along the coast, where Galveston’s nights stay in the low 80s. Rain chances stay elevated, with daily probabilities ranging from 30% to 70% through Thursday, especially in Baytown, El Campo, and the Houston metro.
Afternoon storms could bring localized flooding, gusty winds, and lightning, impacting key corridors like I-45 and I-10. Commuters and outdoor workers should plan for delays and rising heat indices during peak afternoon hours. Boaters and coastal communities should watch for marine wind gusts up to 21 knots and offshore wave heights reaching 4 feet, particularly near Matagorda Entrance.
Residents should limit outdoor activity during peak heat, hydrate frequently, and be prepared for sudden downpours. This pattern of steamy days and scattered storms echoes early July trends in recent years, with no major cooldown expected before next week.
Storm threats and heat advisories remain in effect through Monday. Additional warnings may follow if conditions worsen.
