Houston Braces for Scorching Weekend Heat and Saharan Dust Skies
Hey everyone, let’s talk about the weather shaping up for Houston this weekend—and trust me, it’s going to be a hot one. If you’ve been outside lately, you already know summer isn’t wasting any time getting serious, and this weekend is bringing more of that full-force heat.
So here’s what’s happening: we’re expecting temperatures inland to climb into the 95 to 100-degree range, and along the coast it’ll be a little cooler, hovering near 90. But don’t let those numbers fool you—once you factor in the humidity, it’ll feel more like 105 degrees in some areas. That’s intense, and definitely a cue to stay hydrated, find some shade, and limit your time in the sun if you can. This is the kind of weather that can sneak up on you, especially if you're outside for long periods.

Now, let’s talk about what’s floating in the air—literally. A plume of Saharan dust is blowing in from across the Atlantic, and that’s going to give our skies a hazy appearance, especially around sunrise and sunset. While it may make for some stunning photo ops with those rich reds and oranges lighting up the sky, it could also have a slight impact on air quality. Nothing major is expected, but for those with asthma or other respiratory sensitivities, it’s wise to keep an eye on how you’re feeling. Air quality could shift into the “unhealthy for sensitive groups” zone due to the mix of light dust and ozone.
So what’s next? Well, the heat dome—the high-pressure system that’s been keeping all this heat locked in—is expected to start breaking down after Sunday. That shift will open the door to a new weather pattern early next week, with increasing clouds, scattered downpours, and cooler temperatures dropping into the 80s. Sounds like a welcome change, right?
And as for tropical activity—good news for now. The Gulf and the Caribbean remain quiet. No major tropical threats are expected over the next several days, though the eastern Pacific, particularly near the southern coast of Mexico, is looking a bit more active.
So, to wrap it up: brace yourself for a hot and hazy weekend in Houston. Take the necessary precautions in the heat, enjoy those dramatic sunsets, and get ready for some refreshing changes as early as Monday. Stay safe, stay cool, and keep an eye on the sky—both for beauty and for weather updates.
