Weekend forecast
Weekend forecast Uncertainty in forecast continues, but widespread showers are possible on Friday and/or Saturday. Eric Berger · Thursday, May 7, 2026 7:10 AM In brief: *We're continuing to struggle with the details for the forecast this weekend.
*Widespread showers and thunderstorms are possible on Friday and Saturday, but they're far from a slam dunk.
*Sunday looks sunny and warmer. FRIDAY and SATURDAY - *The front will essentially move back onshore and serve as a focus for rainfall, some of it possibly heavy, on Friday, Friday night, and Saturday. It's not a slam dunk, however.
*In fact, I think there's a solid chance of a busted forecast, which if you've been reading my daily updates all week, you know I've been struggling to make sense of the data. *Most likely, what I think will happen, is that we will see scattered showers on Friday.
*Then, possibly on Friday night or early Saturday, a more organized round of showers and thunderstorms will move through the area, followed by more scattered showers during the daytime on Saturday.
*Am I confident in this forecast? I am not.
*I could easily see most of Houston picking up 1 to 3 inches of rain through Saturday night, and I could easily see most of Houston picking up 0.1 to 0.3 inches of rain during this period. *Severe weather appears to be a low-end possibility, so I'm not really concerned about that.
*Fortunately, Matt is on the schedule to write Friday morning's update, and it will be his responsibility to sort all of this out for us. *As for temperatures, humidity levels will recover quickly, but clouds should limit high temperatures.
*I think we're looking at highs near 80 degrees on Friday, and a little warmer on Saturday. SUNDAY - *Following a string of cloudier weather, we're pretty confident that this will be a warmer and sunnier day.
*Most of the area can expect to reach the upper 80s, with mostly sunny skies.
*Winds look light. For outdoor activities this weekend,
*Sunday looks to be the day.
*Lows on Sunday night will only fall to around 70 degrees in Houston.
