Texas – Thick humidity hangs in the air across Houston, and that sticky warmth is already setting the stage for storms that could disrupt travel within hours.
According to the National Weather Service, a 20% storm chance develops early this afternoon, but the bigger concern arrives Friday when rain chances jump to 70% with thunderstorms likely after midday. Expect brief downpours and lightning, especially along I-45, I-10, and the 610 Loop.
Across Houston, Sugar Land, and Pasadena, roads could turn slick quickly during heavier bursts. Visibility may drop fast in downpours. Plan extra time for the evening commute and avoid flooded underpasses.
Storm chances continue into Saturday, with coverage around 40%. While not constant, scattered thunderstorms could redevelop by afternoon. Some cells may bring gusty winds and localized street flooding.
By Sunday, the pattern eases slightly but doesn’t disappear. A 30% storm chance lingers, especially later in the day. Outdoor plans may need quick adjustments as pop-up storms move through.
Early next week keeps the unsettled feel. Highs climb into the low 80s with daily storm chances continuing through Tuesday. Skies remain mostly cloudy, and humidity stays elevated.
Longer-term trends show warmer, more summer-like air building late next week across Southeast Texas, signaling a shift toward a more typical Gulf Coast spring pattern.
