Heat Persists as Storm Bypasses Region
Tropical Storm Edouard is tracking toward the Texas-Louisiana border, but its path keeps Howe largely out of the direct rain band. The storm is expected to turn west-northwest and weaken as it moves inland, meaning this area will remain hot and mostly dry.
While the system may break the recent run of extreme heat for parts of the state, Howe is not seeing significant rainfall impacts. Current conditions show an air temperature of 90F, feeling like 95F, with relative humidity at 52% and a dew point of 70F. Winds are light at 5 mph, and the sky is clear.
