With the potential for temperatures to soar beyond 100 degrees for most of the coming week, the city of Houston’s Office of Emergency Management reactivated its heat emergency plan Monday morning.

Cooling centers will be open across the Greater Houston area for residents seeking relief from the extreme weather. Those needing transportation to these buildings can call the city’s 311 service number.

The public is advised to limit outdoor activity, especially during the afternoon, check their backseats for children or pets, assist elderly neighbors or family members, stay hydrated, and wear sunscreen and light-colored clothing if outside.

According to Eric Berger, a meteorologist with Space City Weather, temperatures are expected to be 100 degrees or higher this week, with Monday and Tuesday as the hottest days.

Highs will remain within this range for the rest of the week, with a slight dip expected on Saturday and Sunday as the high-pressure system causing the heat will slowly start to retreat westward. It will still be warm on both days, but there will likely be a two-degree temperature drop throughout the weekend.

Any downpours that could lift the burden of this heat are not expected, with daily rain chances between 5 and 10 percent. However, cloud coverage will increase daily chances this weekend to 20 percent.

The National Weather Service serving Houston and Galveston has issued an excessive heat warning for 10 counties, including Houston, Trinity, Madison, Walker, San Jacinto, Polk, Burleson, Brazos, Washington and Grimes until 9 p.m. Monday.

A heat advisory is in effect until Tuesday at 9 p.m. for much of the Greater Houston area as heat index values of 108 or higher are expected throughout Monday afternoon.
