HOUSTON, Texas (KTRK) -- A much drier pattern sets up for us through Sunday as a heat ridge builds over the region. During that time, our temperatures will soar to the upper 90s and may even hit 100 on Sunday, breaking the record of 99 set back in 1980. We also could see some Saharan dust sneak in.
When does the Saharan haze impact us?
A light to moderate amount of Saharan dust will blow overhead on Saturday, and be gone by Sunday. Yes, it is Saharan haze season, which also means it is now hurricane season.
Now that we're in the summer months, how soon could it hit 100 degrees in Houston?
It could happen as early as this Sunday. We currently have a high of 100 predicted for the day, which would break the record of 99 from 1980. Houston normally doesn't register the first high of 100 u
