HOUSTON, TX – Thick clouds blanket the early morning sky over southeast Texas, trapping warm, muggy air that hints at a brewing change. The damp air carries the smell of rain, and distant rumbles echo near the Gulf — a reminder that the final storm push of November is moving through Houston before calmer conditions take hold for Thanksgiving week.
According to the National Weather Service in Houston/Galveston, a series of showers and thunderstorms will sweep across the metro area through early Monday evening. Brief downpours and gusty winds may cause localized ponding on roads during the morning commute. By late day, storms will shift eastward as a drier air mass slides in from Central Texas.
By Tuesday, sunshine and milder air will dominate, setting the stage for one of the region’s best Thanksgiving travel windows in years. Skies remain clear Wednesday through Thursday, with temperatures climbing into the mid-80s — perfect for outdoor gatherings, family events, and post-dinner strolls.
Looking toward the weekend, a few showers may return late Friday or Saturday, but travel impacts appear minor at this time.
Five-Day Outlook for Houston, TX:
- Tuesday: Mostly sunny, high 79°F.
- Wednesday: Sunny, high 68°F.
- Thanksgiving Day: Sunny and warm, high 86°F.
