Houston reaches 100 degrees again as heat advisory continues
Houston reached 100 degrees on Friday afternoon, the second time that week and the third time this summer [1][2]. Forecasters expected another 100-degree day Saturday, which would be the fourth this year, compared with 8 last year and a record 46 in 2011 [1][2]. Heat index values were projected between 108 and 112 degrees, and the heat advisory was set to run through Sunday evening with a possible extension into early the following week [1]; an earlier report listed a Saturday evening end time and a 108 to 110 index range [2]. High pressure had kept the pattern hot, humid and dry, with only a 20% rain chance late in the week [3].
