The summer's first round of heat alerts could be issued for Houston and Southeast Texas by the regional National Weather Service office, especially with humidity-driven heat index values expected to soar to dangerous levels above 100 degrees.

The sky will likely appear hazy by sunset today, and we could get interesting-looking sunrises and sunsets this weekend.

Beginning Friday and extending through Sunday or possibly Monday, expect a mixture of hazy skies and very warm afternoons as temps rise into the mid and possibly upper 90s. We'll keep an eye on air quality,
