At 6pm near downtown Houston it's 92 degrees with dew point of 76 (super humid) making the heat index 105 degrees. š„µ This is ridiculous. š”

Houston has a (fairly slim) possibility of showers today, but a cold front on Friday will bring gusty winds and cooler temperatures. Saturday night will be the coldest, and we think most of the region drops into the 50s. š®
Houstonās houmidity⢠is back, as are rain chances for today and Tuesday. Then we look ahead to fallās first real front, which should arrive on Friday and set the stage for a fantastic weekend.
WANTED: Fall-like weather. Last seen in Houston sometime around April. Suspect is known to bring crisp mornings, low humidity, and open-window weather. Reward offered for immediate return. No questions asked.
Tropical Storm Isaias has formed in the southern Gulf, and it has a really good chance to become the seasonās first hurricane. It is bound for the northern Gulf coast. This should usher a few days of drier air into Houston this weekend.
Thereās an increasing potential for a tropical storm in the Gulf this week. Hereās what that will mean for Houstonās weather as the system stays away from the Texas coast.
The weekend started off calmly, in terms of rainfall. Most likely we will see that start to change later this afternoon or on evening, with scattered to widespread showers and thunderstorms across the Houston area.
Houstonās radar has quieted down after Thursday nightās widespread showers west and north of Houston, but our rain chances will continue through the weekend. Also, next week looks sunny, with notably lower humidity.
Storms have moved further east than anticipated this evening, and we are instituting a Stage 1 flood alert for locations along and to the west of Highway 59/I-69 for Thursday night.
We have an overview of Houstonās elevated rain chances over the next four days. Although thereās the potential for heavy rain, weāre not too concerned about flooding right now. And hey! A modest cool front arrives early next week.
After today, which will be windy, Houston faces a wetter pattern from Thursday through the weekend. We donāt have any specific flooding concerns, but will be watching the situation closely. Next week looks cooler.
Houston faces a couple more days of late summer weather before a significant pattern change brings us a soggy weekend. After that we expect cooler conditions next week.
Is it goodbye 90s?
Heavy rains are expected to move into Texas from the remains of a Pacific hurricane. We look ahead to cooler and wetter weather across the Houston region toward the end of this week.
We've updated our Space City Weather app for 2026. It's super fast, fixes a few bugs, clarifies some things and adds two new cities. Now available for both Apple and Android users.
You know what to do.
We believe the end of the Texas hurricane season is at hand. Fall now appears to be firmly on horizon, with a weak front today and then chances for more fronts in the coming weeks.
Can I get an amen?
Parts of Houston hit the century mark Tuesday but this late September fling with sizzling temperatures should soon start to wane. Next week things start to get even more interesting.
Drought is back in the Houston region but we look ahead to next week when we may see meaningful relief.
Also, are we just about done with highs in the upper 90s? Please?
This week brings more late-September heat into the region, with plenty of days in the mid- to upper-90s. But there does, finally, appear to be some meaningful change on the horizon for next week. Also, the Atlantic briefly had a chance at its first hurricane on Sunday.

A surge of tropical moisture is headed toward the upper Texas coast today, and we explain what that really means. After shower chances today Houston will have a hot and sunny weekend, with zero risk of inclement weather.
