One more day of healthy rain chances in Houston before we tap the brakes

4 days ago | spacecityweather.com | Matt Lanza

In brief: Houston should have one more round of fairly widespread thunderstorms today, especially closer to the coast before things start to ease up closer to what’s typical for June. The relatively mild weather of this week will revert back to typical early summer fare heading into next week. After yesterday’s widespread rains, we get one more crack at the free car wash today. Things are starting off quiet this morning. That should change as the morning progresses.
An early wake-up call from thunderstorms is possible on Monday in parts of the Houston area

1 week ago | spacecityweather.com | Matt Lanza

In brief: Thunderstorms impacting the Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex and Abilene may hold together overnight and arrive in Houston near sunrise, bringing thunder, lightning, and locally heavy rain to parts of the area. We’re barging into your Sunday evening briefly to just offer a heads up that thunderstorms may arrive in the Houston area on Monday morning. In North Texas, there’s a pretty potent severe weather risk tonight. We’ve seen gigantic hail in the area between the Caprock and the Metroplex.
Houston will sweat it out this weekend before some rain chances return next week

1 week ago | spacecityweather.com | Matt Lanza

In brief: Saharan dust will give the Houston area a hazy sky this weekend, but it will also heat up too. Look for mid to upper-90s and very uncomfortable conditions. Next week sees a cooldown as rain chances return Monday and especially Tuesday, which could be a rather stormy day. First off, welcome back to the Saharan dust that periodically impacts our region in June and July. You’ll notice it via some haze or kind of a milky appearance to the sky when clear.
The 2025 Atlantic hurricane season: Here we go again, Houston

2 weeks ago | spacecityweather.com | Eric Berger

In brief: Today’s post shares some thoughts about the beginning of the Atlantic hurricane season, which fortunately appears to be starting slow. We also look ahead to some modest rain chances to start the week before high pressure and Saharan dust push our highs toward triple digits by the weekend. The Atlantic Hurricane season officially kicked off on Sunday, June 1.

In brief: We’re interrupting your Sunday with a short update to call attention to the possibility of severe weather this afternoon and evening. Most people should not be impacted, but some may well be. If it starts to thunder and lighting, take cover. Happy first day of hurricane season, everyone. We don’t have any tropical concerns right now, and we’ll have more to say about the upcoming season tomorrow.
Friday morning rain and thunder headed to the Houston area

2 weeks ago | spacecityweather.com | Matt Lanza

In brief: A cluster of non-severe storms will impact southern parts of the Houston area primarily this morning. A few additional storms could fire, especially east of I-45 or at the coast later today. We’re also keeping tabs on a chance of storms Sunday, followed by standard June fare next week. Another active radar this morning. It feels like it’s been this way a few times this week! Anyway, there is a complex of non-severe thunderstorms moving into the Sealy and Prairie View areas now.
One more chance of rain Friday before hotter and sunnier weather settles in

2 weeks ago | spacecityweather.com | Eric Berger

In brief: The Houston area has had a wet week, and by and large this has been beneficial for the region before the onset of summer and the lurking potential for drought. We have a final chance late tonight and on Friday as a weak front moves into the area, providing a spark for showers. After that we’ll see June-like weather as June begins.
Storms return to the Houston area today, as May continues to close on a noisy note

2 weeks ago | spacecityweather.com | Matt Lanza

In brief: Scattered to numerous storms will impact the Houston area once more today. Severe risks, while low are not zero. We’ll remain unsettled heading into the late week and weekend but hopefully at a less intense pace than we’ve started the week with. Hotter weather lurks on the horizon. After things calmed down yesterday, they stayed calm, thankfully. We will not have that luxury today. Storms (non-severe) are already moving across Matagorda County and Wharton County this morning.
A quiet day after Monday night’s storms, but expect more rain this week

3 weeks ago | spacecityweather.com | Eric Berger

In brief: Houston rocked and rolled on Monday night as a storm system rumbled through, but in its wake we’re seeing calmer and cooler weather this morning. The reprieve will probably last for 12 to 24 hours before widespread showers return on Wednesday and possibly Thursday. As expected, a line of storms roared through the area overnight. Most parts of the Houston region received a good soaking of 1 to 2 inches of rainfall.
With drought on our Western doorstep, Houston set for drenching rains this week

3 weeks ago | spacecityweather.com | Eric Berger

In brief: We hope everyone is enjoying Memorial Day weekend, and we join in remembering all of the US military personnel who gave their lives for this country. The weather should be fine for outdoor ceremonies today. However, Houston will face a series of storm systems this week, including a potentially impactful event tonight. Most of the region should see some much-needed rainfall during the next seven days. The second half of spring has been fairly dry.
