Houston, TX – A shift in the weather pattern will bring storms and cooler temperatures to Houston starting Sunday, March 2, setting the tone for a dynamic early spring week.
According to the National Weather Service, Sunday will see increasing cloud cover with scattered showers developing by the afternoon. Thunderstorms are expected in the evening, with some capable of producing heavy rain and gusty winds. Highs will reach the upper 70s before a cold front pushes temperatures down overnight.
Monday will be much cooler, with morning lows in the mid-50s and daytime highs struggling to reach the upper 60s. Breezy conditions will persist throughout the day, with northwest winds between 10-15 mph.
Tuesday and Wednesday bring a mix of sun and clouds, with highs in the low 70s and lows in the mid-50s. A slight chance of showers remains, but no significant storms are expected. These conditions mark a return to seasonable temperatures, keeping early spring in check.
By Thursday, a warm-up begins, with highs climbing back into the mid-70s under partly cloudy skies. Winds shift back to the south, signaling a return to warmer Gulf moisture ahead of another potential system late in the week.
For those commuting or traveling, expect wet roads on Sunday night and early Monday, especially along I-45 and major Houston thoroughfares. Drivers should use caution during storms, as heavy rain may reduce visibility and cause minor flooding in low-lying areas.
Residents should prepare for cooler conditions after Sunday’s storms, keeping jackets handy as temperatures remain below average through midweek. Stay updated with the latest weather alerts by checking local forecasts frequently.
