A lot of people have been asking for when it might rain next, and now the forecast is becoming more clear. So here’s a quick weekend update on rain chances for the next few days.

MONDAY

If you’ve been outside today you’ve probably felt the increasing moisture levels, and seen some clouds. That’s atmospheric moisture returning to Houston, and high resolution forecast models show the possibility of locally heavy rain on Monday morning, from a few hours before sunrise through around 9 a.m. I’d characterize the uncertainty about amounts of rain as “high,” but there’s definitely the potential for some areas to pick up a quick inch of rain. Most parts of Houston, however, are more likely to only see a tenth or two of an inch of rain during the morning hours.

Another round of showers is possible in the afternoon, however the better chances for rain, and possibly severe weather, lie well to the northeast of Houston later on Monday.

Good morning, it’s pleasantly cool out this morning, with low temperatures falling to around 50 degrees for most of the area in the wake of a cool front that moved into Houston on Wednesday.

TODAY

We’re now set up for three really nice days of spring-like weather. Today, with ample dry air and clear skies,we could see temperatures climb all the way into the low-80s, but we’ll still see a cool nights in the mid- to upper-50s as temperatures fall with the sunset.

It’s quite a bit warmer out this morning, with lows falling only to around 60 degrees across most of the Houston metro area.

TODAY

Highs today should climb into the upper 70s under partly cloud skies, and a cool front should reach the area during the afternoon hours, likely moving off the coast before sunset. Most likely it will be a dry front, with only a slight chance of spotty showers. Drier air will make for a cooler night tonight.

Good morning. It’s another pleasant start to the day, with low temperatures in the low- to mid-50s.

TODAY

With mostly sunny conditions and a southerly wind, we’re likely to see high temperatures climb to around 80 degrees today. Tonight will be warmer with more moist air and some clouds, with lows only falling to around 60 degrees.

WEDNESDAY

Mostly cloudy skies should limit high temperatures to just below 80 degrees. A moderately strong cool front will approach the region during the day, and likely pass through the region some time around sunset or shortly thereafter. Because of warmer air aloft I don’t expect anything more than spotty showers during the evening hours.
