Current flooding in Harris County:

Stream and river status is below. You can also check our our Flood Tracker. Avoid parking along streams, rivers and creeks. Never drive around a barrier. Don’t let this week’s sunshine fool you, high water may still be present in some areas. Not only can you be swept away, but floodwaters also hide dangers that can cause sickness, injury or even death. Do not let children play in floodwaters!

Tuesday’s Forecast:

Tomorrow we’ll climb to 90° for the first time this year. It’s been a long while since we’ve been at 90° or above. Our last 90 degree day was on October 21st. For more on 90 degree climatology check out Frank’s blog here. We’ll also have a heat index ranging from 100°105°!

It will feel between 100-105 Tuesday afternoon. (Copyright 2024 by KPRC Click2Houston - All rights reserved.)

Dewpoints reach the upper 70s by Wednesday.
