Texas – Warm, slightly humid air is already settling over Houston this morning, with a light breeze and clear skies setting the stage for a quick climb in temperatures. By midday, it will feel more like late spring than early April.
According to the National Weather Service, highs reach the low 80s today and push into the mid-80s by Monday and Tuesday, with steady south winds increasing through the afternoons.
This early warmth won’t stay quiet. Moisture begins building across Southeast Texas by Tuesday afternoon, bringing a 20% chance of showers after 1 p.m. Conditions turn more unsettled into Tuesday night and especially Wednesday, when scattered thunderstorms become more likely across Houston and surrounding areas.
Drivers along I-45 and I-10 should plan for brief downpours and reduced visibility during peak travel hours midweek. Wet pavement and quick bursts of rain could slow commutes, especially after sunset.
Before storms arrive, expect several days of comfortable but increasingly humid weather. Afternoon highs near 85°F combined with light winds will give a slightly sticky feel, especially inland from Galveston Bay.
By Wednesday night, isolated thunderstorms may linger with lightning and localized heavy rain possible. While severe weather is not guaranteed, conditions could shift quickly as moisture deepens.
Looking ahead, temperatures remain warm into late week with periodic rain chances continuing.
This pattern signals a seasonal shift—Houston is easing into its stormier spring rhythm.
Five Day Outlook for Houston, TX:
Sunday: Mostly sunny, high near 81°F
Monday: Mostly sunny, high near 84°F
