Houston is starting Tuesday in the mid-70s under partly cloudy skies, but the afternoon will turn mostly sunny and hot, with a high near 90 degrees. Rain should be little more than a footnote for now, with a northeast breeze helping keep the air somewhat less muggy than recent days.
The forecast marks a notably drier turn from the stormier weekend pattern covered in an earlier Hoodline forecast. The National Weather Service Houston/Galveston office expects mostly sunny skies Tuesday, with a 0% chance of rain.
Sunshine And Near-90 Heat Stick Around
Wednesday should be the warmest day of the stretch, reaching about 90 degrees under mostly sunny skies. Highs should remain near 89 Thursday and Friday, while overnight lows settle in the low to mid-70s.
Thursday and Friday could bring 10–20% rain chances. Saturday could bring a slight chance of showers and thunderstorms, with a high near 87. Sunday is expected to be mostly sunny.
Gulf Waters Face The Bigger Weather Concern
Houston has no watches or warnings posted, but boaters in the Gulf waters face a small-craft caution through early Tuesday afternoon. Forecasters are also watching disturbed weather in the southwestern Gulf that could develop into a tropical depression, with the most unsettled conditions currently favored offshore and east of the Texas coast.
For city residents, Tuesday through Friday look favorable for outdoor plans, though the afternoon heat will still call for water, sunscreen and a little shade.
