LIBERTY, August 14, 2012 - TODAY AND TONIGHT IT SHOULD BE ANOTHER HOT DAY ACROSS SOUTHEAST TEXAS. WHILE TEMPERATURES MAY REACH THE UPPER 90S TO 100 ACROSS INLAND PORTIONS OF SOUTHEAST TEXAS...HEAT INDEX VALUES SHOULD REMAIN AROUND 102 TO 105. ALONG THE COAST WHERE MOISTURE IS HIGHER AND DOES NOT MIX WITH DRY AIR DURING THE DAY...HEAT INDEX VALUES WILL BE HIGHER AT 104 TO 108. THIS WILL BE ESPECIALLY TRUE FOR GALVESTON ISLAND.
