Texas roads glisten early as light rain tapers off across Houston, leaving damp pavement and reduced visibility for the morning drive. Conditions improve quickly, but shifting winds and rising warmth signal a changing pattern heading into next week.
According to the National Weather Service, light rain and cloud cover early will give way to partial sunshine with highs near 74°F today, while northeast winds gust up to 20 mph . Drivers along I-45 and the Gulf Freeway should allow extra time early as roads dry out.
By Sunday, skies clear and temperatures climb into the low 80s, with a steady southeast breeze returning. The warming trend continues into Monday and Tuesday, with highs reaching the mid-80s across Houston, Sugar Land, and Pasadena. It will feel noticeably more humid by Tuesday afternoon, a sign of deeper Gulf moisture moving in.
That moisture sets the stage for midweek changes. By Wednesday afternoon, scattered showers and thunderstorms develop, with rain chances around 30 to 40 percent. Brief downpours and lightning could slow traffic on I-10 and Beltway 8 during peak travel hours.
Plan ahead now. Secure outdoor items as winds shift and increase, and stay weather-aware by midweek when storms return.
Looking ahead, this pattern leans warmer than normal into early April, with continued chances for spotty storms across Southeast Texas.
