Houston weather: Warm, breezy Monday in the 80s
Expect a warm start to the week with sunshine and clouds Monday. Conditions will be dry but things will start to feel a bit more humid as the day goes on.
HOUSTON - Southeast Texas is trading its mild mornings for a dose of Gulf humidity this week as a shifting weather pattern brings a chance for thunderstorms ahead of the Easter holiday weekend.
While Monday began with a warm, steady breeze and a mix of sun and clouds, the dry air currently in place won't last long. As Gulf wind flow intensifies, moisture levels are expected to climb steadily through Tuesday and Wednesday.
Midweek Humidity Surge
The return of tropical moisture will likely lead to overcast morning skies Tuesday and Wednesday. Residents should expect a "muggier" feel by Tuesday afternoon, with a slight chance of isolated drizzle. By Wednesday, the atmosphere becomes unstable enough to trigger a few scattered thunderstorms across the region.
Heavy Rain Potential Thursday
Thursday looks like it will be the most active day of the week. A low-pressure system is expected to bring widespread rain and thunderstorms. While timing may shift, current projections suggest periods of heavy downpours that could impact the Thursday evening commute.

- Saturday: Warm and humid with lingering rain chances.
