This week's forecast

This week's forecast After weeks of no rain, are we really going to get a soggy Easter Sunday? ☔️🐣🐰 Eric Berger · Monday, March 30, 2026 6:50 AM In brief: In today's forecast we note that Houston's last measurable rainfall occurred nearly three weeks ago for most of the region - That almost certainly will end this week, with the threat of some showers lingering into Easter Sunday. Easter Sunday 🐣🐰 *For most of Houston, our last measurable rainfall came on March 11, and it is unlikely to rain for another day or two at least. *As we discussed on Friday, parts of the Houston area have already reached "extreme" drought status, and more will follow without significant rainfall soon. *High pressure has been dominant of late, but that should change this week, allowing for somewhat increased rain chances on Wednesday and Thursday. *Our best chances will come this weekend, with the passage of a decently strong front. *This may bring 0.5 to 1.5 inch into the area. But when will it fall? That will depend on the timing of the front. *Right now I'd guess sometime on Saturday night, yet even if that's the case we could see showers lingering into Easter Sunday morning. Bottom line? *It could be a soggy Easter Sunday. *It could also just be mostly cloudy and cooler. *It definitely will not be like yesterday, which turned out to be a fabulous Sunday weather-wise. Seriously, was it not just grand? 🌞 MONDAY 🌞 *Temperatures this morning are generally in the low to mid 60s. *We are going to see a fairly robust onshore flow with winds gusting up to 20 mph from the south later today. *With mostly sunny skies, I expect high temperatures this afternoon to reach the mid 80s. *Lows tonight will only drop into the upper 60s, with partly cloudy skies. TUESDAY 🌥 *This will be another warm and humid day, with partly sunny skies and high temperatures in the mid-80s. *We can again expect gusty, southerly winds. *There will be a slight chance of rain, perhaps 10 or 20 percent, and if any rain does fall it likely will be very light in nature. *Lows on Tuesday night will again be unseasonably warm. WEDNESDAY and THURSDAY 🌧☔️🌥 *As atmospheric moisture levels increase this week we will see a corresponding increase in cloud cover. *That's not to say we won't see some sunshine for the rest of the week, but in most cases it will be the exception rather than the rule. *Highs on both of these days will be in the vicinity of the low 80s. *There will be some healthy rain chances, probably 30 to 60 percent each days. *Overall dynamics are probably better for areas inland of Interstate 10, but most of the area has a decent shot at some showers. *Accumulations for both days will be on the order perhaps a tenth of an inch of rain to a few tenths of an inch, with wide variations. *Nights remain warm and muggy. FRIDAY 🌥 *Rain chances fall back a bit on Friday. *With a bit more sunshine, we may see highs reach the mid-80s. *Expect another warm night. SATURDAYS and SUNDAY 🌧⚡️ Alright, under the assumption that all of this could change somewhat due to timing, here's what I expect to to happen: *Saturday is likely to see continued, somewhat humid weather with high temperatures around 80 degrees. *Light, scattered showers will be possible during the daytime with cloudy skies. *At some point, perhaps during the evening, perhaps around midnight, or perhaps shortly after, a line of showers and possibly thunderstorms (it's too early to really have a good sense of whether there will be any severe weather) will move through with the front. *That may bring some briefly heavy rain. *By Sunday morning, most likely, this will have moved through. *Most likely showers will end at that time, but cloud cover will linger throughout Sunday, and the potential for some showers may as well. (We shall see) *Highs on Easter Sunday will reach the upper 60s to around 70 degrees. *Winds don't look too wild after the front, maybe just 10 to 15 mph from the north. *Humidity will be noticeably lower. *Skies should clear out some overnight, allowing lows to drop into the 50 to 55 degree range. NEXT WEEK 🌞 *Our cooler temperatures should persist at least for a few days next week, with highs in the 70s and lows in the 50s. It should feel fairly spring-like! 🌷🌷🌷

cbear : I know we need rain. It is just difficult to get a senior with a walker to appointments when raining. I do not have a handicapped card so I am unable to park close.

StormChaser : Hopefully it will finally wash all of the pine pollen away.
