Houston, TX – Texas residents will see a stretch of sunshine but also rising heat and health risks as the week continues. An air quality alert remains in effect for the Houston area, raising concerns for sensitive groups, especially children, the elderly, and those with respiratory issues. Drivers along I-45 and Beltway 8 may also experience hazy conditions, reducing visibility during peak commuting hours.
According to the National Weather Service in Houston, Tuesday will reach a high near 88°F with light northeast winds. By Wednesday, September 10, the temperature climbs to 91°F, with Thursday peaking near 92°F. The air quality alert warns residents to limit prolonged outdoor activity, particularly during afternoon hours when ozone levels run highest.
City residents should prepare by keeping windows closed, running air conditioning where possible, and staying hydrated in the heat. Those with asthma or heart conditions should carry medication and avoid strenuous outdoor tasks. Outdoor workers may need to take frequent breaks in shaded areas.
While skies remain mostly clear through the weekend, the heat lingers, with highs hovering in the low 90s and overnight lows in the mid-70s. Relief does not arrive until early next week, when a slight chance of showers could move in Monday.
Officials remind residents that air quality alerts may be extended if current trends continue. Houston’s clear skies may look inviting, but the combination of heat and ozone buildup poses risks through midweek.
