Texas – Low clouds hang thick over Houston this morning, and damp air clings to roads as scattered showers begin to spread across the metro, setting up a messy late-morning commute.
According to the National Weather Service, showers and thunderstorms will develop through early afternoon with a 60% chance of rain and pockets of heavier downpours. Rainfall totals between 0.50 and 0.75 inches are possible in localized areas, especially along I-45, I-10, and the 610 Loop, where water may briefly pool on roadways.
Across Harris County and surrounding areas like Sugar Land, Pasadena, and The Woodlands, temperatures will climb toward 80°F despite the clouds. Winds remain light, but brief gusts could develop near storms. Drivers should slow down on wet pavement and watch for sudden visibility drops under heavier showers.
Conditions shift quickly after today’s rain. Skies begin to break by Thursday, with highs reaching 83°F and south winds increasing to 20 mph. That breeze signals a warmer pattern building across Southeast Texas.
By Friday, Houston turns warmer and drier, with highs near 85°F under partly sunny skies. However, meteorologists are tracking a broader storm system across the Plains that could send additional storm chances closer to Texas heading into the weekend and early next week. Severe weather risks stay low locally for now, but isolated thunderstorms remain possible.
Saturday and Sunday trend warmer, with highs pushing 86–87°F and increasing humidity. Expect more of a summer feel, especially by Monday when temperatures approach 90°F.
Plan ahead: allow extra travel time today and keep an umbrella nearby through early afternoon.
