The first day of Spring will be a scorching hot day in Houston, with temperatures reaching the 80s and a few degrees shy of the 90s. A strong area of high pressure will push temperatures into the upper 80s, making it more than early June. The Mayo Clinic warns that dehydration can occur faster in spring than the summer due to the warmer weather. No rain is expected over the next 10 days.
