HOUSTON – Houston’s recent stretch of unsettled weather is beginning to wind down as high pressure builds across Southeast Texas. A few isolated showers and thunderstorms remain possible Friday evening, but rain coverage will continue to decrease this weekend.
Friday’s Forecast:
Friday will feature more sunshine and noticeably fewer storms, although a stray shower or thunderstorm could still develop late in the afternoon along the sea or bay breeze. Rain chances remain near 20%, so most of the Houston area should stay dry. Watch for a few showers and thunderstorms north of I-10 from 3 PM to 8 PM.
Afternoon temperatures will climb into the mid-90s, with heat index values potentially reaching around 105 degrees.
Weekend Forecast:
A more typical summertime weather pattern settles into Houston this weekend, bringing mostly dry conditions and plenty of heat. Saturday will be partly sunny with a high near 95 degrees, while Sunday should be mostly sunny with temperatures around 96 degrees. Rain chances will be very low, but the combination of heat and humidity will make it feel hotter than the actual temperature. Overnight lows will remain in the mid-to-upper 70s, with some urban and coastal locations struggling to fall below 80 degrees.
10 Day Forecast:
The heat will continue building into next week as high pressure strengthens over the region. High temperatures are expected to reach the upper 90s by Tuesday and Wednesday, with a few locations potentially approaching 100 degrees. Heat index values could climb into the 108- to 110-degree range, possibly reaching Heat Advisory criteria. Rain chances remain minimal through most of next week before a slight chance of showers and thunderstorms returns Thursday.
