HOUSTON, Texas (KTRK) — A storm system will push a front through most of Texas over Easter weekend, but most of our weekend will remain rain-free until late Sunday.
Another round of breezy and mostly dry weather will be on tap for Saturday with just a few passing showers possible. Temperatures are starting in the mid 70s and warm into the mid 80s under a partly sunny sky.
When and where are we expecting the highest rain chances on Easter Sunday?
Rain chances will remain low during the morning on Easter Sunday at just 10-20%. During the afternoon a weak front will approach Houston from the northwest, and as it interacts with the warm, humid air overhead, scattered showers and thunderstorms are expect to pop up between 3 p.m. and 6 p.m. and continue into the evening. The highest chance for rain looks to remain north and west of downtown Houston. While we don’t expect a complete washout where it storms later in the day, if you have outdoor plans in the afternoon or evening for something like an Easter egg hunt, it might be a good idea to have an indoor option just in case.
Are we in for more rain next week?
Yes! The storm system blowing by Easter Sunday will stall the front out in Southeast Texas and leave an active jet stream parked over our part of the state. We have multiple opportunities for rain with the highest odds coming around Wednesday, which now has a 70% chance of rain.
