Texas — Low clouds hang heavy over Houston, and the air already feels thick as moisture builds across the region. What starts as a gray, quiet day quickly turns more active, with rain and storms developing as the hours pass.
Current conditions sit near 71°F under overcast skies, but the bigger story is what’s building overhead. A surge of Gulf moisture is pushing inland, setting up a wetter, more unsettled stretch across Southeast Texas.
Showers and thunderstorms increase through the afternoon, with rain chances rising to 70%. Some storms may produce brief downpours and lightning, especially after midday. Roads like I-45, I-10, and the 610 Loop could turn slick quickly. Plan extra time if you’re heading out.
Rain doesn’t completely shut off tonight. Scattered showers linger, keeping conditions damp and visibility reduced at times.
Saturday brings another round. Showers and a few storms redevelop by late morning into the afternoon, with highs near 81°F. It won’t be a washout, but keep the umbrella close.
Sunday is where things become more widespread. Showers and thunderstorms increase again, especially after late morning, as instability builds. While severe weather isn’t guaranteed, lightning and heavier bursts could disrupt outdoor plans. Expect delays if traveling.
By Monday, the pattern finally begins to ease slightly, with partial sunshine returning and highs in the low 80s. Still, humidity sticks around.
Looking ahead, above-normal warmth continues into next week, with temperatures climbing into the mid to upper 80s by midweek—clear signs of early summer vibes settling in.
5-Day Outlook for Houston:
Saturday: Chance of showers, high near 81°F
Sunday: Showers and storms, high near 80°F
Monday: Partly sunny, high near 82°F
