Houston Weather Late Monday Night: 59 Degrees and Overcast — Wednesday's Rain Chance Jumps to 48 Percent
Monday ends at 59 degrees under the overcast. The late board makes one big move: Wednesday, which read as light rain at 28 percent two hours ago, now carries rain at 48 percent — while Tuesday dries back to 16, with drizzle in the code and a warmer low of 58.6.
Houston's Monday is closing at 59.0 degrees and overcast, feeling like 60.2, on the way to a low of 57.7 after a high of 64.4. The day's 76 percent precipitation chance — the highest reading of Monday's run — is spent, and the night stays grey and cool in the upper 50s.
Tuesday's number moved down, but its character changed. The rain chance has fallen from 22 percent in the early-evening file to 16 percent, yet the day's code has flipped from plain overcast to light drizzle (code 51), with a high of 68.4 and a notably warmer low of 58.6, up from 56.4. Read together: a mostly dry Tuesday, grey rather than bright, with the night barely cooling at all.
The board's real move is Wednesday. Its rain chance has jumped from 28 percent to 48 percent — rain (code 65), a high of 77.0 and a low of 62.9 — making Wednesday, not Tuesday, the weekday to plan around. After it, the warm dry core of the week still holds exactly as advertised: Thursday 81.6 and dry, Friday 81.3 and dry, neither with any rain chance at all, and Saturday easing to 72.2 at 11 percent.
Sunday is unchanged at a 37 percent rain chance with light drizzle, a high of 71.6 and a low of 62.8. The week's shape, at the end of Monday: a wet Monday behind us, a grey and mostly dry Tuesday, a genuinely wet Wednesday, two dry days in the low 80s, and a Sunday still worth watching.
