Houston's Easter Weekend Weather: Unsettled Rain Pattern

Why this matters: Being aware of the changing weather conditions allows residents to plan their Easter weekend activities accordingly and take necessary precautions to stay safe during potential storms and flooding.

The Houston area is bracing for a weekend of fluctuating weather conditions. After a prolonged period without significant rainfall, Southeast Texas is expected to receive much-needed precipitation, albeit with some potential hazards.

Thursday: Expect scattered showers and storms, mainly north of I-10, with heavier downpours possible from morning through early afternoon. The Brazos Valley will see rain around 7 AM, with the Houston area affected mid-morning.

Friday: A break in the rain with isolated showers and temperatures climbing to the mid-80s.

Saturday: The most significant weather event, with a cold front moving through Houston in the evening. The day starts warm and muggy, but the arrival of the front around 5 PM could bring heavy rain and a street flooding threat. Rainfall totals could reach 3-4 inches, especially north of I-10.

Easter Sunday: Lingering light rain is possible along the coast early in the morning. Temperatures will be in the upper 50s with cloudy skies and strong north winds, making it feel colder. Most of the day will be dry, but another area of low pressure could bring more rain Sunday night.

There is a street flooding threat on Saturday evening due to heavy rain and a slow-moving cold front.

Some light rain may linger along the coast early Sunday morning, but most of the day should be dry. More rain is possible Sunday night, but it won't be as intense as Saturday night.
