Sunny Skies Ahead: A Dry Weekend Before Rain Makes a Comeback

After a stretch of unpredictable weather, Houstonians can finally enjoy a brief respite this weekend with clear skies and sunshine. But don’t put away those umbrellas just yet—forecasters warn that wetter conditions are on the horizon.

Weekend Weather Breakdown

The next few days will be ideal for outdoor plans, with minimal rainfall and comfortable temperatures. Here’s what to expect:

• Saturday: Mostly sunny with highs near 85°F, light breeze.
• Sunday: Partly cloudy, slight chance of an isolated shower late in the day.

Next Week’s Outlook: Rain Returns

By midweek, a shift in atmospheric patterns will bring back moisture-rich air from the Gulf. Key highlights include:

1. Tuesday Night: Scattered showers likely after midnight.
2. Wednesday-Thursday: Periods of steady rain, potential for thunderstorms.

Why the Sudden Change?

Meteorologists point to an advancing low-pressure system colliding with tropical humidity—a classic setup for springtime downpours. While no severe weather is currently expected, localized flooding could occur in low-lying areas.

What Do You Think?

• Should cities invest more in flood infrastructure given these frequent rain swings?
• Is climate change making weather forecasts less reliable?
• Do you prefer consistent rain or dramatic dry/wet cycles?
• Should weather reports focus more on long-term climate trends?
