Every day we will see coastal showers to start, but by the afternoon commute you can see a few thunderstorms further inland. These showers will be brief but heavy dropping anywhere from half an inch to two inches.
Thursday’s Forecast:
Isolated storms have been popping up for several days—this pattern is expected to repeat this afternoon, especially into the afternoon. Check out our current radar below.
Friday’s Forecast:
Friday will be just like Thursday. Rain chances are highest for Houston and the southern parts of the region, with a 30 to 40 percent chance of showers. Further north and west, it’s expected to stay a bit drier.
Plan for “wet and stormy” conditions south of Houston, especially if your routine keeps you outdoors in the afternoon—these storms could be inconvenient at times.
If you don’t see storms it will still be hot with highs in the mid-90s.
We will continue to see this pattern through Saturday before High pressure moves farther west, allowing for more disturbances to enter SE Texas next week.
Tracking the tropics, tracking the Gulf:
The Atlantic is heating up! There are two areas of concern tracking in the Atlantic basin. Neither are expected to impact the Gulf coast over the next week.
The yellow blob off the east coast has a low chance of development over the next seven days. Even if it does not develop it will create rough surf and an elevated rip current risk along the east coast.
The orange blob in the central Atlantic has a medium chance of developing into a storm over the next 7 days. The futuretrack shows it moving northwest over the next week, so for now we are not concerned.
Make sure your family is prepared for whatever comes our way this hurricane season. You can check out our 2025 Hurricane and Flood Survival Guide here.
Your extended forecast:
Behind the rain comes more heat and humidity. As you’re planning your week, the heat remains the big story for Houston, with afternoon thunderstorms always a possibility, especially for those closer to the coast.
