Texas – Humid air is hanging thick over Houston, and while skies look calm in spots, storms are already beginning to organize and will build into a more active pattern within hours.
According to the National Weather Service, only isolated showers are expected early, but thunderstorm chances increase as the day unfolds. Highs climb to 83°F, with gusty southeast winds up to 20 mph feeding moisture into developing storms.
Across Houston, including I-45, I-69, and the Beltway, drivers could see brief downpours and sudden slick roads, especially after late morning. Visibility may drop quickly in heavier cells. Keep headlights on and plan for extra travel time.
Storm coverage increases heading into Friday. A 30% chance of showers and thunderstorms develops after late morning, with scattered activity continuing into the evening. While not widespread, lightning and gusty winds remain possible in stronger cells.
The pattern intensifies into the weekend. By Saturday afternoon, rain chances climb to 70%, with showers becoming more numerous and thunderstorms possible. Conditions worsen Saturday night, when rain coverage reaches 80%. Periods of heavier rainfall could lead to localized street flooding, especially in low-lying and poorly drained areas.
Sunday trends slightly drier, but scattered storms remain possible early before tapering. Temperatures cool into the upper 60s, signaling a break from the recent warmth.
Looking ahead, early next week brings quieter weather with gradual clearing and temperatures rebounding into the mid-70s.
This is a classic Gulf Coast spring setup—warm, humid, and increasingly stormy.
