According to the National Weather Service, today Houstonians might see "A slight chance of showers, with thunderstorms also possible after 1pm. Mostly cloudy, with a high near 82. South wind 10 to 15 mph, with gusts as high as 25 mph. Chance of precipitation is 20%."
The wind will also play a role, with a southward breeze between 5 to 10 mph today. Moving into tonight, storm chances rise to 30 percent, particularly after 1am, under mostly cloudy skies. In an impractical fashion, as we consider Monday, another set of sporadic showers and thunderstorms might begin before 10am, then a respite with a chance of showers before the cycle resumes post-1pm, as reported by the National Weather Service.
The forecast from CW39 suggests that "a windy Sunday is ahead, with storms starting today and rain chances increasing into Monday." Some of these storms could pack a punch, with the potential for strong rumbles of thunder. While clouds will overshadow, the heat will stay, with temperatures huddling in the 80s.
After Monday's turbulent gift of rain, the weather seems to take a calmer turn on Tuesday with "partly sunny, then gradually becoming sunny" conditions and hitting a high near 87, as per the National Weather Service. The Southeast will dry out after recent rain, with clearer weather expected through the middle of the week. However, by Thursday, there’s a small chance of showers and thunderstorms, mainly west of Houston.
Residents can expect clear skies and more sun on Tuesday night into Wednesday, with partly sunny weather and temperatures in the mid-80s. However, later in the week, be ready for rain and thunderstorms, starting Thursday night and continuing into Friday, with a 40% chance on Thursday and 60% on Friday, according to the National Weather Service.
Looming ahead for the weekend, early predictions indicate that Houston will experience "partly sunny" conditions come Saturday with a relatively high peak in temperatures around 83 degrees, as per the National Weather Service. It’s advisable to stay tuned to weather updates as the week unfolds, given the mercurial nature of Houston's spring skies.
