Houston, Texas – South Texas heat will give way to storm chances Saturday, and Houston drivers could face slick roads by nightfall. Outdoor plans, including high school football and community events, may be interrupted by showers and possible thunderstorms.
According to the National Weather Service, Houston stays mostly sunny Friday with highs reaching 94 degrees and heat index values topping 104. Storm activity grows Saturday afternoon with a 40% chance of showers, then strengthens into Saturday night with thunderstorms likely. Motorists along I-45 and Beltway 8 should use caution, as heavy downpours may cause ponding and reduced visibility.
Rain continues into Sunday, especially late in the day, as temperatures settle near 88. While storms won’t last all day, quick-hitting showers could delay travel and outdoor activities. East winds near 5 mph may help ease humidity but won’t clear the storms entirely.
Residents are urged to stay weather-aware, charge devices before storms, and avoid flooded streets. If attending football games or outdoor gatherings this weekend, have a backup plan for sudden lightning or downpours.
By Monday, Houston sees a brief break with mostly sunny skies and highs near 88. Storm chances return Tuesday and Wednesday with 20% chances of showers each afternoon, paired with highs in the low 90s.
Warnings remain possible through Sunday night, and more advisories may be issued if storms strengthen.
