Houston, TX – Wet pavement, lingering mist and scattered thunderstorms could complicate travel across Houston Wednesday before a noticeable weather improvement arrives Thursday.
But the break may not last through the weekend.
Another round of showers could develop Saturday night, followed by increasing rain chances Sunday evening.
According to the National Weather Service, Houston faces a 70% chance of precipitation Wednesday, November 11, with afternoon temperatures reaching approximately 75 degrees.
Showers and thunderstorms are most likely before 2 p.m., followed by a slight chance of additional showers through 4 p.m.
New rainfall amounts should generally remain below one tenth of an inch, although thunderstorms could produce locally higher totals.
Wednesday Rain Creates Travel Concerns Drivers traveling Interstate 45, Interstate 10, U.S. Highway 59 and Beltway 8 should remain alert for reduced visibility and wet roadways.
Earlier observations at Houston Hobby Airport reported light rain, fog and mist, with visibility near three miles.
Those conditions illustrate how quickly morning travel can become uncomfortable when moisture and low clouds develop.
Rain chances decrease later Wednesday, with mostly cloudy skies and temperatures falling toward 63 degrees Wednesday night.
Thursday and Friday Bring a Welcome Weather Break Thursday, November 12, offers a substantial improvement.
Mostly sunny skies return, with afternoon temperatures near 76 degrees.
North winds of 5 10 mph accompany the drier conditions.
Thursday night turns cooler, with temperatures dropping toward 55 degrees.
Friday continues the pleasant pattern, bringing sunshine and another high near 76 degrees.
For Houston homeowners, the drier stretch offers an opportunity to clear fallen leaves, inspect gutters and prepare outdoor spaces before the next rain chance.
Saturday Rain Chances Return After Sunset Saturday, November 14, begins with mostly sunny skies and a high near 71 degrees.
However, the weather pattern changes again Saturday evening.
Forecasters place the chance of showers at 40%, mainly before midnight.
Temperatures should settle near 59 degrees.
Residents planning evening gatherings or outdoor activities should monitor updated weather information.
Sunday Brings Another Round of Showers Sunday, November 15, features a 30% chance of afternoon showers, with temperatures reaching approximately 72 degrees.
The rain threat increases Sunday night.
The National Weather Service expects showers to become likely, with precipitation chances rising to 60%.
Temperatures should remain near 59 degrees.
Although a major severe weather outbreak is not indicated in Houston's supplied local forecast, changing rain conditions could affect weekend travel.
The broader national weather pattern includes a significant cold air outbreak across the eastern United States. However, Houston's local temperatures remain well above freezing through the weekend.
