Houston is waking up warm, muggy, and a little fogged in Tuesday morning, with pockets of patchy fog around sunrise and temperatures in the low 70s. Expect reduced visibility in low‑lying neighborhoods and on bridges during the early commute.
The fog should lift by mid‑morning, and highs will climb into the mid‑to‑upper 80s, topping out near 87 this afternoon. Only a slight 15 to 20 percent chance of scattered showers or thunderstorms is on tap today, with light southeast winds around 0 to 10 mph.
Tonight Into Wednesday: The Bigger Rain Risk
Storm chances ramp up late Tuesday evening into Wednesday as a disturbance moves through. The National Weather Service Houston/Galveston says the main window for heavier rain is late tonight into Wednesday morning, with widespread totals of 1 to 2 inches expected and isolated pockets of 3 to 5 inches possible where training occurs. Brief heavy downpours and gusty, potentially damaging wind gusts are possible in stronger storms, and localized street flooding is the main concern.
Coast And Commute
Onshore southeast flow will keep bays and Galveston‑area waters choppy, and any stronger storms could produce erratic winds and building seas late tonight into Wednesday. Overnight downpours may lead to street ponding and slow the Wednesday morning commute, so allow extra time and avoid driving through standing water.
