Houston weather: Warm Wednesday ahead of wet Thursday and Friday, FOX 26 Storm Alert Days issued
Hot Tuesday with air quality issues
More patchy morning fog on Wednesday
FOX 26 Storm Alert Days Thursday and Friday
Heavy rain & flood threat to end the week
HOUSTON - Clear skies and light winds have allowed high temperatures to range from the low 80s to the low 90s with most Houston area highs near 90. As is typical on sunny days with light winds in the Houston area, ozone pollution is likely, so the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality has issued an air quality alert level orange - unhealthy for sensitive groups. Most people will not be affected, but those with sensitive lungs should not exert themselves outdoors this afternoon. This is a very common advisory, and we will have dozens of these in the weeks and months to come.
Wednesday will be another foggy start for parts of Southeast Texas, especially towards the coast. Temperatures once again will soar well into the 80s by the afternoon with a few more clouds around.
We have labeled Thursday and Friday as Fox 26 Storm Alert Days due to the potential for heavy rain & storms. It looks like waves of heavy rain could bring more than 5" to some locations, but the exact timing and location is still uncertain. Flood Watch has already been issued SW of Houston that includes Victoria & Corpus Christi from Wednesday afternoon until noon Friday. In general, prepare for ugly weather beginning mid to late Thursday morning and into at least Friday evening. Rain totals will vary, but may be heavy enough to cause some flooding, so check back for updates on a developing weather setup. Houston is in a two out of four Flash Flood risk both Thursday & Friday.
So far, it looks like a partly cloudy and warm weekend with highs in the 80s and only isolated showers expected.

Houston weather: More rounds of rain Tuesday, marginal flood risk in Texas Hill Country
The Brief Shower Chances Possible in Hill Country Daily Round of Storms for Houston Area Tropics Quiet for Now HOUSTON - Prepare for another round of rain in the Houston-area and a warm afternoon in the 90s. There are no active Flood Watches in Hill Country as of this morning, but the Weather Prediction Center has outlined a 1/4 risk for isolated flooding in Central Texas today. Scattered downpours are possible through this evening for parts of the Texas Hill Country that have been ravaged by extreme flooding over the holiday weekend. Rivers are now well within their banks and, in fact, most are close to the pre-flood levels, but any more intense rainfall could cause levels to rise again. We are expecting a daily scattering of summer downpours in the greater Houston area today and tomorrow. Individual storms could drop a quick 1-2" of rain each day. Widespread flooding is not expected, but isolated street flooding is possible. Please be careful and avoid any flooded areas. Late this week, the coverage of rain will decrease Friday and temperatures could rise into the upper 90s before scattered storms return for the weekend. Chantal is now a post-tropical cyclone and moving into the Atlantic Ocean. Chantal was the first U.S. landfall of the year. Nothing else urgent is brewing in the tropics as of this evening and models aren't showing threats for Texas over the next several days. The Source Your Gulf Coast Weather Authority

Dangerous Maryland heat wave continues through Wednesday
Dangerous levels of heat and humidity will continue across Maryland Tuesday and Wednesday with highs close to 100°. Record highs may be tied or broken across the state through Wednesday. Heat index values will continue to be extreme and overnight lows near 80° will offer no relief. Everyone is advised to take heat precautions seriously, as the temperatures will be dangerous even to healthy individuals. Baltimore has declared a Code Red extreme heat alert through Thursday, June 26. Extreme heat and humidity continue across Maryland The combination of near triple-digit heat and elevated humidity levels has prompted the WJZ First Alert Weather team to issue Alert Days through Wednesday, June 25. High temperatures are forecast to approach, if not reach, the lower 100s again Tuesday. We'll once again be monitoring as that is near-record heat. The record high at BWI-Marshall Tuesday is 100° and our forecast high of 100° would tie that record set back in 2010. Our normal high temperatures for late June are in the upper 80s. The Inner-Harbor set a new record high Tuesday of 104° and that's our forecast high again for Tuesday. Elsewhere across the state, high temperatures are forecast to be between 98° and 101°. The heat index will range from 105° to 110° Tuesday with some isolated locations reaching heat index values of 115°. Not only is this heat sweltering, it's downright dangerous to humans and to pets. Wednesday will also feature dangerous heat, but high temperatures should fall just shy of 100°. BWI's record high is 99° from 1997 and right now our forecast calls for us to tie that record. Regardless of whether we see records fall the next couple of days, prepare for more highly uncomfortable levels of heat and humidity statewide. Isolated strong and drenching thunderstorms are possible Wednesday afternoon and evening, but a much better chance of storms returns Thursday. Feels like temperatures will be between 105° and as high as 115°. Heat alerts in Maryland Heat is the number one weather-related cause of death in the United States. Please take the Alert Days seriously, especially if you will be outdoors now through Wednesday evening. As the extreme heat continues, additional heat alerts will be active across much of Maryland: The Eastern Shore is under an extreme heat warning through Wednesday at 8 p.m. Extreme Heat Warnings continue for central Maryland through 9 p.m. Tuesday.. Feels like temperatures could approach 110° for these areas. An extreme heat watch is in effect for central Maryland at 11 a.m. Wednesday through 9 p.m.. Feels like temperatures could approach 110° for these areas. This extreme heat watch will likely be upgraded to an extreme heat warning sometime today for Wednesday. Regardless of whether or not your neighborhood is under an alert, the entire area will be extremely hot and humid, even overnight. Low temperatures in the 70s and 80s are warm enough, but with high levels of moisture, we'll wake up already feeling like the mid-80s. Beating the heat during this Maryland heat wave Here are a few ways to stay safe and healthy while working outside during extreme heat: Wear loose-fitting, light colored clothing Avoid being in the direct rays of the sun Take frequent breaks if you plan to be outdoors Drink lots of water, even if you don't feel thirsty. Two liters of water a day is recommended Remember pets and the elderly in the heat Make sure ceiling fans are circulating counterclockwise to circulate cooler air downward In preparation for the unusually hot weather, Baltimore City's Health Department is declaring its first 'Code Red Extreme' Heat Alert. The alert begins Sunday and runs through the middle of the week. A list of cooling centers is available HERE. Late week storms then brief relief Friday Thursday should be the last day of this current heat wave. While extreme heat warnings are not likely Thursday, we're still forecasting hot and steamy temperatures. Highs Thursday afternoon will reach the lower 90s with heat index values close to 100°. A cold front will continue to sag south Thursday afternoon sparking off numerous showers and thunderstorms. A few of these storms could be strong to severe with locally damaging winds. The greater risk from these storms may be localized flash flooding given the high humidity values and slow-moving storm motions. Some neighborhoods could receive locally a quick 1 to 3 inches of rain while other neighborhoods will receive far less from these hit or miss storms. Friday will be much cooler as the cold front sinks south of us. High temperatures may not even reach 80°. There is the chance of showers Friday, especially during the morning. Steamy summer weekend across Maryland with more storms The upcoming weekend will turn hotter and more muggy once again as the cold front that brought relief Friday lifts north as a warm front. Expect variable clouds with hot and muggy weather Saturday and Sunday. Widely scattered to scattered thunderstorms will develop during the afternoon and evening hours. These storms will be of the hit or miss variety, so not every neighborhood will get wet. Neighborhoods that do receive storms could receive locally heavy rainfall, cloud to ground lightning, and gusty winds. Highs over the weekend will be steamy. Saturday's highs will climb toward the upper 80s. Sunday's high temperatures will reach 90°, but with high humidity levels, feels like temperatures will top out in the middle to upper 90s.
