HOUSTON, Texas (KTRK) — Moisture levels will rise over the next few days and bring back chances for showers and thunderstorms. This stormy weather pattern will persist through the weekend and much of next week.
Thursday morning starts with a mostly cloudy sky as moisture blows in from the Gulf. There’s a slim chance of a stray shower as temperatures start in the low 60s. Those rain chances will creep up to 30% Thursday as moisture continues to flow inland, especially west of I-45. Temperatures will again top out close to 80, which is near average for early April.
How do rain chances fluctuate over the next few days?
We are expecting a stormy pattern to settle in, but the rain chances will vary each day based on how much moisture is available and the tracks of upper air disturbances. Friday looks to bring the highest chance for rain at 60% when a weak upper air disturbance blows through. We’ll be right on the edge of the prime storm chances in Texas this weekend, so for now we have a 40% chance for rain in the forecast Saturday and Sunday. There are signs that Sunday’s rain chances may need to go higher, especially late in the day and north of Houston.
Any severe weather possible?
Severe weather is possible in Texas, but the threat to our part of the state looks low at this time. An isolated strong storms could approach severe levels on Friday and again on Sunday.
Does this weekend look like a compete washout then?
No! But we are expecting scattered showers and storms each day, especially in the afternoons. If you plan on going to the Art Car Parade in downtown Houston this Saturday afternoon, take an umbrella! We’ll keep you updated as the forecast timing comes into greater clarity.
