Houston weather: Easter weekend forecast

Houston weather: Easter Sunday rain chances as of Saturday afternoon

Meteorologist John Dawson explains the slight chance of severe storms for the Greater Houston area.

Weather could have an impact on your Easter weekend in the Houston area.

Saturday Night Forecast: Warmer and more humid

Saturday night thunderstorms will soak central and north Texas. So if you have travel plans to Austin, Waco, DFW or the Hill Country, just be aware that severe storms and heavy rain are a concern there.

Sunday Forecast: Easter rainy at times

The central Texas storm system should weaken as it heads toward Houston, but should still contribute to scattered showers that could put a damper on Easter morning. It won't rain everywhere, but brief showers will be possible in the morning with increasing shower and thunderstorm activity in the evening. 

You will need to move some Easter plans inside for a while. The highest chance for strong storms will be possible, especially to the north of Houston.

Unsettled next week

Beginning Monday, expect a mostly cloudy and humid pattern with a daily chance for showers or scattered storms through at least Friday.
