Todays weather in Houston Texas - Friday - 05 June 2026

Houston steps into the day at 86 degrees with showers and thunderstorms already in the mix. A 54 percent precipitation chance through the afternoon makes this a carry-your-umbrella morning — light easterly winds at 5 to 10 mph mean it will actually do its job. No severe weather alerts are active, but storms can develop quickly, and standing water on the roads means commuters should expect reduced visibility and slick conditions during the morning drive.Afternoon storms are the main story, but conditions ease overnight. Rain chances drop to around 28 percent after 7 p.m., skies settle to mostly cloudy, and the overnight low lands near 76 — warm, but about as comfortable as Houston summers get.Looking ahead to the weekend: Saturday carries a 63 percent storm chance with a high near 87, making it the day to keep plans flexible. Sunday is the payoff — only 16 percent precipitation chance, high near 89, and genuine sunshine. That is your window.The week ahead turns noticeably drier. Monday brings partly sunny skies and a high near 90. Tuesday pushes mostly sunny and 91. Wednesday and Thursday hold at 91 with just a slight late-day storm chance. The wet pattern wrapping up this week gives way to classic Houston summer: hot, sunny, and unapologetic.Bottom line for today: dress for rain, slow down on the commute, protect Saturday's plans, and bank on Sunday.This episode includes AI-generated content.
