Texas — Damp air clings to Southeast Texas this morning as clouds thicken and rain bands slide toward Houston. Wind stirs palm fronds, and the pavement stays slick as showers and thunderstorms develop through the first half of the day.
Meteorologists are tracking scattered storms moving across the metro area through midday. Rain may fall steadily at times, with brief downpours reducing visibility on I-45, I-10, and the Beltway. Gusty winds could accompany stronger cells, especially by late morning. Plan extra drive time and watch for pooling water on low-lying roads.
Conditions improve quickly later today. Rain tapers during the afternoon, and skies begin to clear by evening. Temperatures peak near 70 degrees before cooler air slips in overnight. Lows fall into the upper 40s, delivering a noticeably crisper feel by Wednesday morning.
Wednesday brings a welcome reset. Sunshine returns, humidity drops, and highs settle into the mid-60s. The air feels lighter, and outdoor plans become easier again. Clear skies continue Wednesday night, setting up a calm stretch of weather.
By Thursday, Houston warms back into the low 60s under full sun. Friday pushes even higher, reaching the low 70s with bright skies and light winds. The weekend looks even warmer, with highs climbing into the mid-70s and dry conditions holding firm.
The 6–10 day outlook supports above-normal temperatures across Texas, hinting at early spring energy building across the region. For now, the main concern remains today’s rain and brief travel impacts.
Heading out this morning? Keep an umbrella handy and slow down on wet roads. Planning weekend plans already? It may feel more like April than February. How much rain are you seeing where you are?
