Houstonians witnessed a wet start to their day as overnight showers made for slick road conditions across southeast Texas. According to Click2Houston, the rainfall is expected to subside before sunrise, providing some respite for morning commuters. However, there may be some residual moisture later in the evening, potentially sparking sporadic showers and storms.
The soggy weather appears to be on its way out, with forecasts indicating that the sun will emerge, leading to a mostly clear evening with low temperatures around 65 degrees, as reported by the National Weather Service. To those venturing out early, please be aware of potential dangerous road conditions and allow extra time for travel.
Looking ahead to Mother's Day weekend, Houston residents can expect milder weather. A north wind is forecasted to bring "cooler temperatures" into the area, an indicator of more comfortable conditions. Despite rain chances hovering at around 20% for tomorrow and Sunday, per the predictions from Click2Houston, outdoor activities should not be majorly impacted.
The impact of an upper-level low developing east of southeast Texas could modify weather patterns for the holiday weekend. "An upper-level low that develops east of SE Texas could increase rain chances if it moves to the west," Click2Houston notes, potentially bringing additional clouds. For now, rain chances are kept at a hopeful 20% for the weekend festivities.
As the new week approaches, forecast enthusiasts can expect a dry spell accompanied by a rise in temperature. By the end of the next week, the mercury is set to soar into the 90s, giving Houston an early taste of summer heat. The upcoming days are predicted to be sunny and clear, ushering in warmer nights with lows steadily increasing from the mid-60s to the low 70s.
