Houston, TX – Afternoon plans in Houston may be interrupted Sunday as showers and thunderstorms are likely to develop after lunchtime, bringing localized downpours and brief lightning risks to parts of the city and surrounding suburbs. Temperatures will still climb into the mid-90s, with heat index values pushing near 105 before storms roll in.
According to the National Weather Service, Sunday’s main storm window runs between 1 p.m. and early evening, with a slight chance of lingering showers overnight. Winds will stay light, but heavy rain could reduce visibility on major routes like I-45, I-69, and the 610 Loop. Outdoor events, especially in open parks or near the bayous, should have shelter plans ready.
Rain chances remain elevated early next week, with a 70% chance of showers and storms on Monday and a continued 50% chance Tuesday. Storms may bring brief street flooding in low-lying areas, so drivers should watch for water pooling during commutes.
Warnings remain possible if storms strengthen, and the unsettled pattern could persist into midweek.
