Houston is starting Wednesday, September 9, with clear skies, calm winds and temperatures around 80 degrees—but that quiet opening is only temporary. Showers and thunderstorms could begin after 7 a.m., with partly sunny skies and a high near 91 before rain cools parts of the city into the mid-80s this afternoon.
Storm Chances Build After The Morning Warmup
Rain chances are around 40% Wednesday, and the National Weather Service Houston/Galveston says storms should be driven mainly by daytime heating and the sea breeze. Coverage is expected to be greater closer to the coast and south of Interstate 10, while inland Houston may see more scattered downpours.
Wednesday night should turn quieter after a 30% chance of showers and thunderstorms before 10 p.m. Skies will become partly cloudy, with a low near 79 and light east winds around 0 to 5 mph; no watches or warnings are in effect.
Daily Storm Chances Stick Around
Thursday through Sunday look similar, with highs near 91 to 92 degrees, overnight lows in the upper 70s and daily chances of showers and thunderstorms. Friday and Friday night carry the highest listed rain chances at 50%, while Saturday and Sunday remain near 40%; Monday eases to 30% before another afternoon storm chance Tuesday.
This is a fresh update to Hoodline's earlier Houston forecast, with the latest outlook pointing to a persistent but mostly scattered rain pattern rather than one big washout day. For outdoor plans around downtown and nearby neighborhoods, the safest bet is to keep a backup option handy from late morning through afternoon.
