A strengthening ridge of high pressure is currently dominating the weather in the Houston area, including Piney Point Village. This is resulting in hot temperatures and a lack of rain. The air is also hot, humid, and 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 and Click2Houston.
