Houston Weather Overnight Tuesday: 58.4 Degrees and Mainly Clear - Tuesday Tops Out at 70.8, and Wednesday Is Now a Heavy-Rain Day at 56 Percent
The calm night is the week's pause. Tuesday is mild with a light-drizzle chance, Wednesday brings the week's real rain - now coded heavy - and Thursday rebounds to 81.8 and dry.
Houston sat at 58.4 degrees under mainly clear skies in the early hours of Tuesday, feeling like 59.3 on the station's live Open-Meteo feed - a quiet overnight between Monday's rain chances and the week's next system, which arrives Wednesday.
Tuesday itself is the mild in-between day: a high of 70.8 and a low of 57.7, with a 26 percent precipitation chance coded as light drizzle (code 51). Nothing in Tuesday's file calls for more than a passing shower, and most of the day reads dry.
Wednesday is the change, and it has strengthened since Monday night's file: the rain chance is up from 48 to 56 percent and the day is now coded heavy rain (code 65), with a high of 74.4 and a low of 62.9. Wednesday is the day this week to plan around - the wettest file in the seven-day run by a clear margin.
Behind it, the week turns warm and mostly dry: Thursday reaches 81.8 with no rain in the feed, Friday holds at 80.5 and dry, and Saturday sits at 78.2 with an 11 percent shower chance. Sunday cools sharply to 66.7 with a 37 percent rain chance before Monday rebounds to 81.
