The 2025 Atlantic hurricane season: Here we go again, Houston

4 days 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.
An unsettled atmosphere may bring storms later today and this evening

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.

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

1 week 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

1 week 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

1 week 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

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.
A mostly fine start to Memorial Day weekend in Houston, with slightly higher rain chances on Monday

In brief: The holiday weekend should be mostly fine (albeit hot) in Houston. Rain chances will rev back up a bit late Sunday night and Monday morning and again deeper into next week. For now, Memorial Day Monday looks unsettled but perhaps not a total loss. Let’s jump right into the big holiday weekend. First off, if you have plans in the Houston area or on the coast today and tomorrow, you’re more than likely going to have no issues whatsoever.
A mixed bag for Memorial Day weekend, and a pattern change for next week

2 weeks ago | spacecityweather.com | Eric Berger

In brief: We’ll see a short reprieve in humidity today, but then we are back to hot, and mostly sunny weather through Saturday. The second half of Memorial Day weekend could see the onset of some scattered showers, and by next week a pattern change should bring cooler temperatures and more widespread precipitation. A weak front moved into Houston overnight. It produced some stray showers and thunderstorms near downtown Houston and the Liberty area, but for the most part it was a dry passage.
An odd day in Houston: August-like heat to be followed by a brief shot of modestly drier air

2 weeks ago | spacecityweather.com | Eric Berger

In brief: Steel thyself, for today is likely to be the hottest day of 2025 so far. But the upside of this is that the region will see about 24 hours of modestly drier air starting late this afternoon or evening. Looking ahead to Memorial Day weekend, a chance of rain returns Sunday and especially Monday. The city of Houston recorded its hottest day of the year last Wednesday, when the mercury hit 96 degrees at Bush Intercontinental Airport.
