Weekend weather

Weekend weatherHouston likely to face showers this weekend as another front sags into the area. Eric Berger · Thursday, September 4, 2025 7:21 AMIn brief:
*The region will heat up today and Friday, with moderately drier air in place.
*A combination of factors, including a slow-moving front, will bring elevated rain chances this weekend, particularly on Sunday.
*Slightly cooler weather will follow.Thursday -*A close look at the radar reveals a few showers right along the coast this morning-that's the stalled front that has brought modestly cooler weather into the Houston region this morning.
*Lows at Conroe have dropped all the way into the mid-60s, but most of the metro area has settled into the low 70s.
*Because this dry air warms efficiently, and skies will be sunny, we will see highs today in the midto upper 90s for much of the region away from the coast.
*With dewpoints in the 60s this afternoon it will be a slightly drier heat, but it's still going to be pretty hot.
*Winds will be light, from the west at about 5 mph.
*Lows tonight will be a couple of degrees warmer than this morning.Friday -*This will be another sunny and warm day, with highs in the mid-90s for much of the area.
*However, winds will turn more southerly, with gusts up to 15 or 20 mph, and this will herald the return of the onshore flow.
*This is one factor that will lead to higher rain chances over the weekend, but only one. Friday night will see lows drop into the upper 70s.Saturday -*The first half of the weekend will see a few more clouds in the sky, but there should be enough sunshine to help push temperatures for most into the vicinity of 90 degrees, or just above.
*Rain chances are about 40 percent, but for the most part I think any showers that develop will be light to moderate, and not super impactful.
*With ample humidity in place, look for a warm Saturday night.Sunday -*Rain chances will peak on Sunday, likely in the 60 to 80 percent range. Why? *Because the combination of a front dropping down from the north, along with an influx of moisture from the remnants of Hurricane Lorena in the Pacific, should bring a healthy chance of showers across the area.
*We certainly cannot rule out the threat of heavy rainfall BUT at this time I expect most of the region to pick up between 0.25 and 1 inch of rain this weekend, rather than seeing any significant flooding.
*We'll keep an eye on it.
*Highs, for the most part, should top out in the upper 80s.Next week -*At this point it looks like the front will drag into Houston on Sunday-ish, and stall out near the coast. Depending on where the front stops, we could see some lingering showers next week for coastal areas, or they should remain offshosre.
*Regardless, we should see a couple of days in the upper 80s to 90 degrees, with nights in the lower 70s.
*Some inland areas may drop into the upper 60s again, so pretty nice overall. Most of next week should be sunny.
