Houston, TX – A surge of spring storms will impact the Houston area this week, bringing unsettled weather, travel headaches, and a heightened risk of thunderstorms—especially for drivers on I-45 and I-10. Local commuters should be alert for slick roads, ponding, and reduced visibility from Tuesday night through Thursday.
According to the National Weather Service, mostly cloudy skies will persist Tuesday with a high near 84°F, but rain chances climb sharply by Wednesday. Thunderstorms are expected Tuesday night with gusty southeast winds up to 25 mph. By Wednesday morning, storms become more likely, with a 40% chance of rain continuing into the evening. This pattern brings the possibility of downpours and minor flooding, especially in low-lying areas of Harris County and major thoroughfares like I-45, I-10, and the Sam Houston Tollway.
Residents in Houston and nearby cities like Pasadena, Sugar Land, and Missouri City should monitor updates and prepare for delays. Charge devices, plan alternate routes, and avoid flooded roads during heavy rain. While severe weather is not certain, quickly changing conditions are possible, so stay alert to local advisories.
