A strengthening ridge of high pressure is currently dominating the weather in the area. This is resulting in hot temperatures and a lack of rainfall. The skies are also expected to be hazy due to the presence of Saharan dust.

The high pressure system is expected to move eastward, affecting other parts of the country. As it shifts, it will bring above-average temperatures to areas such as Chicago and Baltimore over the 4th of July weekend. Further details about the weather forecast are available from local news sources, including KPRC 2 in Houston.
