In a tweet from the National Weather Service Houston, skies were reported as mostly cloudy earlier this day, but are expected to clear by the afternoon. The story changes slightly by Thursday, where Houston faces a 30 percent chance of showers in the afternoon and mostly cloudy skies carrying through the weekend.
On the safety front, despite the calm weather over Houston, the Storm Prediction Center out of Norman, Oklahoma has highlighted that no severe thunderstorms are expected on Tuesday. "Severe thunderstorms are not expected," the Center's discussion states, offering a reassuring outlook for locals concerned about springtime weather disruptions.
Wednesday's forecast shows a slight uptick in warmth, boasting a high near 69 degrees and breezy southeast winds that could ramp up to 21 mph, according to a report gleaned from the National Weather Service. This pattern of increasing heat continues with Thursday and Friday's highs creeping into the mid-70s, though the week could wind down with some showers and the potential for thunderstorms come Sunday.
For those planning ahead, the weekend may require an umbrella on hand, as the NWS predicts chances of showers from Friday through Sunday. The NWS Houston's X also mentions gusty conditions along the coast today, a signal for maritime interests to exercise caution. As Houston moves through the week, residents should keep an eye on the changing conditions and enjoy the moments of sunshine while they last.
