Click2Houston highlights a sunny weekend that will warm up the city, describing the weather as "spectacular in the afternoon with plenty of sunshine." The upcoming week, however, is expected to be quite wet. A frontal system on Sunday evening will bring an increase in rain chances for the early days of next week, with another system following close behind mid-week. Flood risks appear to be low, despite the frequent rain chances. Throughout the 10-day forecast, highs will mainly linger in the 50s and 60s, so there's no expectation for freezing temperatures in the near future.
Looking ahead, the wetter conditions remain persistent. The National Weather Service's projection for Sunday forecasts showers and possible thunderstorms with a high chance of precipitation at 80%. This damp theme continues into next week, with varied chances of showers almost every day and temperatures consistently mild, hovering in the low to mid-60s. Residents should prepare for intermittent wet weather and keep their umbrellas at hand well into the coming week.
