Home Stand Rivalries and Triple Digit Heat
The city is gearing up for a high-intensity weekend in Houston, where the forecast remains hot but the schedule is even hotter. With a solid slate of events anchored by the Astros and Rangers, it is a good weekend to enjoy the local indoor highlights. Stay cool and hydrated as you navigate these top-tier options.
Expect intense heat with average highs reaching 103 degrees under overcast skies. While Friday late afternoon is the best time to be out, keep in mind that the humidity and high UV index make air conditioned venues the preferred choice.
