Houston hits 100 degrees again as heat advisory extends through the weekend
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 high Saturday, which would bring the year's total to four triple-digit days, compared with 8 last year and an all-time record of 46 in 2011 [1][2]. Heat index values were projected between 108 and 112 degrees, though earlier reporting listed a range of 108 to 110 [1][2]. The heat advisory was described as running through Sunday evening in one account and through Saturday evening in another, with the forecaster saying it would likely be extended as the heat wave continues [1][2].
