Just as we started getting used to the sweaty, sun-soaked afternoons of early spring, Houston is about to flip the script. Get ready for a week that has a little bit of everything: blazing heat, stormy skies, jacket-worthy chills, and then — yep — a warm-up all over again.
If you’ve been feeling like your closet needs every season’s wardrobe on standby, you’re absolutely right.
Here’s what’s really coming your way:
Friday: A Hot Start with Trouble Brewing
It’s one of those sticky, late-spring-in-early-April kind of days. We’re talking 85°F, but with that thick Houston humidity, it’ll feel even toastier. You’ll probably step outside and instantly question why you wore jeans.
Expect some sun early, but clouds will creep in by the afternoon. By evening, we’ve got a shot at some thunderstorms rolling in. Not a total washout, but don’t be surprised if you hear a rumble of thunder around dinner time.
What to do:
-
Drink water like it’s your job.
-
Don’t trust that sunshine — bring the umbrella if you’re out late.
Saturday: The Real Drama Arrives
Here comes the curveball.
Saturday brings cooler temps (high of 79°F) but also some serious storm potential. And this isn’t just your run-of-the-mill rain. We’re talking:
-
Heavy downpours
-
Flash flooding in some spots
-
Gusty winds
-
Hail
-
And yes — even a small tornado risk
By nightfall? Temps drop fast — all the way down to 47°F. That’s a 30+ degree swing in just hours.
Heads up, Houston:
-
Bring in anything you don’t want flying off your porch.
-
Be storm-aware — keep your phone charged and emergency alerts ON.
Sunday: Storms Out, Cool Breezes In
Once Saturday’s chaos moves on, Sunday brings sweet relief. We’re looking at 61°F and dry, but it’ll stay breezy and feel a little chilly — especially in the morning.
The skies clear up later in the day, giving us some much-needed sunshine without the steam.
Best for:
-
A peaceful walk in the park
-
Outdoor brunch (just bring a light jacket)
Monday: Sunny, Crisp, and Kind of Perfect
We ease into the new week with plenty of sunshine and temps climbing back into the upper 60s. It’s not hot, not cold — just… nice.
You might finally open the windows and let that breeze roll through.
Tuesday to Thursday: Houston’s Springtime Swagger
Things heat back up gradually through midweek:
-
Tuesday: High near 74°F, low humidity, a total winner
-
Wednesday: Warmer at 78°F, still comfortable
-
Thursday: Topping out around 82°F with humidity sneaking back in
You’ll start to feel that familiar sticky warmth creeping in by Thursday — a subtle reminder that summer isn’t far off.
What to remember:
-
Sunscreen is still a thing — even when it’s not super hot
-
Don’t stash the allergy meds — pollen could spike again midweek
This Week’s Weather Is a Mood Swing on Steroids
In true Houston fashion, it’s all happening. One minute you’re sweating, the next you’re bundling up, and somewhere in between — you’re dodging lightning.
But hey, that’s life on the Gulf. We roll with it.
Your must-haves this week:
☂️ Umbrella
🧥 Light jacket
🧴 Sunscreen
📱 Phone alerts ON
Stay safe, stay smart, and whatever you do — don’t let this week’s weather catch you off guard.
