Houston Braces for Wet Weekend: Showers to Persist
10 Apr
Summary
- Houston will experience rising moisture and chances for showers and thunderstorms.
- Rain chances peak at 60% on Friday, with 40% expected Saturday and Sunday.
- Isolated strong storms are possible Friday and Sunday, but severe weather threat is low.
Moisture levels are on the rise, heralding a return of showers and thunderstorms to Houston over the coming days. This unsettled weather pattern is anticipated to continue through the weekend and extend into much of the following week. Thursday will begin with a mostly cloudy sky and a slim chance of stray showers as moisture drifts in from the Gulf.
Rain chances are expected to increase significantly, reaching up to 60% on Friday as a weak upper air disturbance moves through. The weekend forecast indicates a 40% chance for rain on both Saturday and Sunday, with potential for higher chances, particularly late Sunday and north of Houston. While isolated strong storms could occur on Friday and Sunday, the threat of severe weather for the region is currently assessed as low.
Despite the persistent scattered showers and storms, especially in the afternoons, the weekend is not expected to be a complete washout. Visitors planning for outdoor events like the Art Car Parade on Saturday afternoon in downtown Houston are advised to bring an umbrella.
