Houston weather: Dry weather moving in, heat on the way
video

On Thursday, temperatures will soar to around 80 degrees. The surface low in the Gulf is not expected to become tropical, but will spread some heavy rain and increase the flood threat from the Louisiana Gulf Coast to the Florida Gulf Coast. We will not get any significant impacts from that system but watch out if you are traveling east. Look for a few warm and mainly dry days Thursday and Friday as temps soar to the low to middle 80s Friday afternoon. Next cold front arrives Saturday evening bringing with it a chance for showers and storms. Second half of the weekend looks beautiful and bright!

Sunny, mild Wednesday afternoon in the 70s

Today will be mostly sunny and mild, with a few pop-up showers or storms on the outer edges of an unusual area of low pressure impacting other Gulf states that we've been monitoring and talking about for days. While we will barely feel any impacts locally, rain and possibly a few strong storms look to make a reappearance late Saturday into early Sunday as a cold front moves through. Then, it's back to pleasant and dry weather at the start of next week.

While we continue to watch an unusual low forming south of New Orleans, our weather will only be affected in a small way - mostly with a chance for scattered afternoon showers today. Otherwise, our forecast looks great for the rest of this week with pleasant low temperatures in the 50s and 60s along with highs in the 70s and 80s. Moisture increases on Saturday followed by a late-day front that could bring a round of storms leaving behind a great outlook for Sunday.

Wednesday morning Houston-weather forecast
video

Wednesday will be a comfortable day with temperatures climbing to the 70s. A few showers and storms might form, especially in our eastern counties. We'll be watching the Gulf of Mexico for a possible surface low that could develop just south of the Louisiana gulf coast. The area of low pressure will likely not become tropical, but could become subtropical as it develops over the next 24-36 hours. Regardless of being tropical or not, the low will spread some heavy rain from Louisiana to the Florida coast. Coastal flooding will be possible in some of these locations. For the Houston area, we will stay on the western or drier side of the low. So other than a few showers and storms Wednesday, we will not be impacted much. We will heat up into the 80s heading into the weekend and wait for a strong cold front late Saturday that will bring a decent shot for showers and some strong storms.

The weather tonight should be fairly quiet with pleasant temperatures in the upper 50s and just a slim shot for rain. Best shot for rain will be near the coast.

Rare tropic-like system could in the Gulf this week; earliest named storm since 2017
video

According to National Hurricane Center records, only two named tropical systems occurred in April - Ana in 2003 and Arlene in 2017. Neither of those tropical storms impacted land as Ana made a long trek across the Atlantic Ocean away from the United States and Arlene simply spun around the central Atlantic for one day.

Houston weather: Cool Tuesday morning, then pleasant temps

Overall, the rest of this week should be pretty quiet with cooler conditions early in the week and warmer temps with more humidity by Friday and Saturday. A front is expected late Saturday which could bring a round of storms. Other than that, an interesting low could form in the Gulf south of Louisiana that is unusually "tropical like" for April, but it's not likely to be a bug concern and will probably not affect Texas.

Tuesday morning Houston-area weather forecast
video

Tuesday's weather pattern will be similar with a 20% chance for showers and storms and temperatures climbing to the 70s. By Wednesday, we are expecting a surface low to develop in the north central Gulf of Mexico, just south of New Orleans. While it is not expected to become a tropical system, it could become subtropical and bring a big round of rain to the Louisiana Gulf coast. Fortunately, models project this low to stay to our SE which means we would be on the western side or drier side with no major impacts to Houston weather. There will be a slightly higher chance of showers and storms Wednesday (30%), especially for the eastern half of the area. By late week, we heat up ahead of our next cold front. Showers and some strong storms appear to be a good bet by Saturday evening with this next front. Look for widespread 80s Thursday through Saturday with cooler weather likely early next week.

Monday evening weather forecast with Meteorologist Remeisha Shade

We are starting off the work week with mostly cloudy skies and mild temperatures in the 70s. Look for an isolated shower or storm this evening with the best chances west. Weather overnight should be pleasant with overnight lows near 60. Tuesday's weather pattern will be similar with a 20% chance for showers and storms and temperatures climbing to the 70s.

Monday afternoon weather forecast with Meteorologist John Dawson

This week's weather is a bit complicated, but overall will bring a chance for isolated afternoon storms with pleasant morning and afternoon temperatures. From Tuesday through Thursday, there is a chance for a small semi-tropical type area or low pressure in the Gulf - it's unlikely to have a significant impact on Texas, but could bring extra rain to Louisiana.

Sunday evening/Monday morning weather forecast

Scattered showers across the Houston area on Monday and Tuesday. Maybe an isolated downpour but if you see rain it won't be too intense. The end of the week for southeast Texas will be drier and warmer. Expect a cold front sometime next weekend to cool temps slightly and return rain to the forecast.

Easter Sunday Weather Forecast with Meteorologist Lena Maria Arango

Outdoor activities for Easter Sunday are a go! After some patchy fog/mist and morning clouds, the afternoon will feature dry conditions and partly sunny skies. The workweek begins with the return of scattered rain and storms as a disturbance passes over our area. It looks to later form into a low-pressure system over the gulf bringing parts of Louisiana heavy rainfall midweek. Once it moves east, it will pull in drier air for us so look for several sunny warm days. Over the weekend, an approaching cold front could bring the return of unsettled weather.

After a very soggy end of the workweek, the Easter Weekend looks to be mostly dry. The temperatures should also be pleasant for any outdoor activities around the Houston area. Rain returns to the forecast for Southeast Texas on Monday and Tuesday with some warmer temperatures returning for the end of the 7 Day Forecast.

Saturday weather forecast with Meteorologist Lena Maria Arango
video

After a cloudy and damp start to Saturday morning look for a mild afternoon with some sunshine. Easter Sunday is slightly warmer, with intervals of clouds and sun and also mostly dry. Continuing to watch for an area of low pressure that may form in the Gulf early next week, but still a lot of questions on if/how it will impact our forecast. High pressure builds in by the end of the week and we'll be sunny, dry and warm!

Saturday morning Houston-area forecast

Super soggy and unsettled weather pattern should start to shift as we move into the holiday weekend. By Saturday morning, spotty mainly light rain early possible with drier weather expected much of the day. Easter Sunday looks mainly dry with only a 10% chance for rain and warmer temperatures in the middle 70s. Early next week we are monitoring a possible disturbance that could develop in the Gulf of Mexico. If if develops, that would mean more clouds & a better chance for rain with cooler temps. If it doesn't develop, there would be more sun with drier and warmer weather. So keep checking back for the latest forecast! Whether the disturbance develops or not, it looks like high pressure will take over by the middle and end of next week which will translate into toasty temperatures in the 80s and more sunshine.

Possible rounds of rain Friday afternoon in the 60s
video

After a soggy Good Friday, tomorrow we'll transition toward drier weather for the remainder of the holiday weekend. Lots of questions remain regarding the forecast early next week and if a disturbance forms we'd be cloudy, cool, and unsettled. If it doesn't, we'll be sunny dry and warmer. So, expect changes and don't totally tune out the forecast over the long holiday weekend. By middle of next week high pressure takes over and we warm back into the 80s through next weekend!

Friday Houston weather forecast
video

We are continuing to watch for rounds of heavy rain primarily along the coastline today, and although inland locations will see scattered activity, the threat for flooding in Houston is much less likely. Tomorrow will start cloudy and cool with some early showers and partial afternoon clearing, then Easter Sunday looks pretty nice! Next week a coastal low may mess with cloud cover and rain chances if it forms so expect some changes there and check back over the weekend for updates.

Friday morning Houston-area morning forecast
video

Threat for flooding for Houston and surrounding areas will remain elevated through Friday night. Some parts of SE TX up around Brenham, Navasota & Huntsville have picked up around 3-7" of rain over the last 24 hours. Heaviest rain has been just NW of Houston so far. But with a front stalled over the Gulf and with another disturbance pushing in, expect more waves of heavy rain. Scattered rain will persist for the early evening with an even bigger wave of heavy rain expected to push in overnight. That means the Friday morning rush hour could be a mess with heavy downpours creating low visibility and ponding of water on roads. There could be some flooding issues as well so stay alert and make sure to grab the FOX 26 weather app. An additional 2-4" of rain is possible for Houston area through Friday night. Warmer weather returns next week.
