Houston starts Saturday near 55 degrees, with partly sunny skies, increased cloud cover and isolated to scattered showers before the weather takes a rough turn. Afternoon temperatures should reach about 68 degrees, but Sunday brings a 90% chance of showers and thunderstorms, gusty winds and the potential for locally heavy rain.
Saturday Brings More Clouds And Isolated Showers
Saturday will be partly sunny, with increased cloud cover and isolated to scattered showers. East winds of 10 to 15 mph could gust to 25 mph. Clouds build late in the day, with a chance of showers after midnight and an overnight low around 54.
The wetter outlook is a sharper turn than the forecast described in Saturday’s Hoodline forecast, which put Sunday’s rain chance at 60%.
Sunday Brings Storms And Stronger Winds
Sunday is now the main weather concern, with showers and thunderstorms likely across the Houston area. The high should reach about 65 degrees before temperatures fall toward the low 60s during the afternoon, while east winds around 15 mph may gust to 30 mph.
The National Weather Service Houston/Galveston office says the setup could support strong to severe storms in parts of Southeast Texas, including large hail, damaging winds and an isolated tornado threat. The exact areas at greatest risk remain uncertain, but locally heavy rain could cause flooding, especially near the coast.
Beachgoers should also watch for dangerous rip currents and minor coastal flooding late Sunday into Monday. Boaters face worsening conditions, with a Small Craft Advisory in effect through Sunday afternoon and a Gale Watch for the bays and Gulf from Sunday evening through Monday afternoon.
Cooler Monday Gives Way To A Midweek Rebound
Sunday night stays unsettled, with a 70% chance of rain showers, a low near 50 degrees and northeast gusts up to 30 mph. Monday could bring a few lingering showers before noon, followed by mostly cloudy skies and a high near 57.
Conditions improve Tuesday, which should be mostly sunny with a high near 62, while Wednesday reaches about 70 under mostly sunny skies. Temperatures climb into the low to mid-70s Thursday and Friday, although Thursday carries a 30% chance of showers.
