Houston weather: Wet weather moving back in
Rain becomes more likely into Thursday and continuing into Friday. Periods of steady rain, possibly heavy at times — could lead to ponding and slick streets for the Thursday morning commute. There is a chance for isolated street flooding, especially for areas near and south of I-10. Showers are expected through at least early Friday, then we'll have some welcome clearing. A few strong storms are also possible over the next few days, especially south of I-10. Main risk overnight would be hail and possibly some wind gusts near 40-50 mph.

What Houston can expect this winter: 2025-2026 Southeast Texas outlook
The National Weather Service’s newly released Winter 2025–26 outlook points toward a season that will feel milder than usual for the Houston area. Driven largely by a weak La Niña pattern in the Pacific, the outlook tilts slightly toward warmer-than-average temperatures across the southern United States. For Houston, this means more days that resemble mild late fall rather than extended cold stretches.
