Houston, Texas – Sweltering heat will grip southeast Texas through the weekend, with highs in the mid to upper 90s making for popular but potentially hazardous beach conditions from Galveston to Angleton.
According to the National Weather Service in Houston/Galveston, temperatures will peak Sunday at 95°F in Houston, 98°F in Brenham, and 96°F in College Station before a noticeable cool-down begins Monday. Rain chances rise steadily early next week, with a 40–50% chance of showers and thunderstorms across the region by Tuesday and Wednesday.
Cities like Conroe, El Campo, and Livingston will see highs pushing into the mid-90s through Sunday before the wet pattern sets in. The combination of heat and humidity could push heat index values even higher, increasing the risk of heat-related illness. Galveston residents and beachgoers should also watch for rip current dangers through the weekend, with elevated surf conditions expected.
Residents should avoid strenuous outdoor activities during peak afternoon heat, stay hydrated, and monitor local alerts for changing conditions. Rain and potential storms could bring temporary relief but may also impact Memorial Day travel.
More updates are expected as rain chances increase—especially from late Sunday night into Tuesday.
