As of today, 69% of Texas is in a drought and those numbers are up from just 52% last week.
Houston has had 11 days in a row at or above 101° and that trend should continue today. Along with those hot temps, high humidity will drive heat index values to 110° or higher. An excessive heat warning is in effect through at least Friday and rain chance remain slim for the near future.
Locally, many counties including Galveston, Brazoria, part of Fort Bend, part of Harris, all of Liberty, and more are now classified as being under a severe drought. The remaining area of Southeast Texas is in a moderate drought.All counties in our area except for Fort Bend and Brazoria are under an outdoor burn ban, so no burning is permitted since a grass fire or even a forest fire is possible.
The 6-10 day outlook from NOAA shows a likely pattern of hotter than average temperatures and lower than average rainfall, so it's almost certain that the Texas drought will get much worse over at least the next week or two.
