Houston Weather Tuesday Morning: 59.3 Degrees, Moderate Rain Coded for Today at 69.9, Wednesday's Chance Eases to 54 Percent

Houston begins Tuesday at 59.3 degrees under partly cloudy skies, feeling like 61.2 on the station's live Open-Meteo feed - and the morning update has firmed up the day's rain rather than backing away from it.

Tuesday's precipitation code has stepped up from rain (61) to moderate rain (63) since the overnight file, with the chance rising from 32 to 38 percent, even as the day's high recovered from 67.5 to 69.9 against a low of 58.7. It is a showery, gray Tuesday rather than a washout - but the umbrella advice from the overnight file stands, and bayou-side commuters should expect wet roads through the day.

Wednesday remains the week's wettest day on the feed, though its edge has softened: the rain chance is down from 61 to 54 percent, the code holds at rain (61), and the temperatures are unchanged at a high of 70.8 and a low of 62.5. Read across the two updates, the system arriving midweek looks a little less concentrated than it did at 3 a.m. - spread across both days instead of loaded into one.

Behind it, the pattern is steady and warm: Thursday rebounds to 81.8 with a 1 percent rain chance, Friday is 80.5 and dry, and Saturday sits at 78.2 with a 17 percent shower chance. Sunday cools to 66.7 with a 33 percent rain chance before Monday returns to 81.
