Overview
- Spotty, mostly light showers are forecast early in the week with the highest odds southwest of Houston and along the coast, and many neighborhoods may stay dry.
- Forecasters expect a weak cold front to move through late in the midweek and bring drier air and lower rain chances for several days after it passes.
- Temperatures should fall behind the front with overnight lows dropping into the 40s in some neighborhoods and upper 30s possible well north of the city.
- The lull may be brief because another weather system from the Plains is forecast to raise rain chances again late this weekend into early next week, though timing and coverage remain uncertain.
- Houston remains about seven inches below normal rainfall for 2026, and meteorologists are watching a developing super El Niño for its possible influence on seasonal totals; the National Weather Service is the authority for any watches or warnings.
