Houston is experiencing a stretch of familiar summer weather, heavy rain, afternoon thunderstorms, and flash flood warnings. On Monday, another round of storms made the evening commute tricky, and the rain isn’t over yet. Expect more daily showers, especially in the afternoons and evenings, at least through midweek.

By the middle of the week, we may get a short break from the rain, but it’ll come with hotter weather. Highs will stay in the low to mid-90s through the weekend. This kind of stormy summer pattern hasn’t been seen in Houston for a few years. The good news? Next week looks drier, so you might finally have a chance to catch up on outdoor plans.

10-Day Forecast Highlights:

• Daily highs: Low to mid-90s
• Rain likely most afternoons through midweek
• Fewer storms and hotter, drier weather expected next week

How to Prepare:

• Plan for delays. Rain can make roads dangerous, drive carefully and leave early.
• Know your flood risk. Stay alert, especially if you live near creeks or rivers. You can access more info in the Harris County Flood Control District page.
• Protect your home. Clear gutters and drains before storms arrive.
• Stay informed. Sign up for updates in the Harris County Flood Control District.
