Clear skies Thursday, rain chances return to SE Texas this weekend
HOUSTON – Enjoy these clear skies now, because it won’t last much the rest of this week in some parts of southeast Texas.
Thursday’s Forecast:
Thursday will bring more heat and a summer feel with highs in the mid-90s.
Rainfall Forecast:
Rain chances return Friday (20%) and ramp up Saturday (40%). The rain chances are mainly for locations along and south of I-10. If you are north of I-10 you likely will remain dry.
Where is Fall?
Unfortunately, a good chunk of the United States is still experiencing way above average temperatures for the rest of this week and honestly, most of next week as well! We’re still seeing 90s here across Texas and 80s for areas that usually don’t see temps this warm this late into summer/early fall.
Tracking the tropics:
The Caribbean and The Gulf of Mexico are quiet for now, but there is a 40% chance a tropical system develops in the Gulf over the next seven days.
By this weekend, the tropical cluster will be entering the Gulf of Mexico and may get better organized. We’ll keep you updated daily on how this system is coming along. Regardless, we’ll likely see some showers and thunderstorms from some of the tropical moisture moving across the area this weekend.
10-day Forecast:
Our next small chance of rain is Friday, lasting through the weekend. A cold front moves through on Monday that will drop our highs to the 80s and lows into the lower-60s. No major cold front coming anytime soon, but we’re always watching out for it!

FULSHEAR, Texas – A Texas homeowner heading out for an early morning walk got quite a surprise when he mistook a large reptile parked on his front porch for an online delivery.
Officers with the Fulshear Police Department were called to a local residence last week after the homeowner accidentally struck an alligator with his screen door, initially believing it was a package from Amazon.
What they’re saying:
“With all the heavy rain we’ve been getting lately, it seems the gators are on the move,” the police department said in a statement. “This little fella decided to skip the swamp and upgrade to porch life this morning.”
Footage released by the department captures the alligator resting on the concrete porch while the homeowner explains the startling encounter to responding officers, noting he didn’t realize what it was until he banged into it with the door.
Police officers successfully wrangled the alligator and relocated it safely to a nearby pond.
Recent heavy rainfall across the region has displaced local wildlife, prompting authorities to urge residents to remain cautious as animals seek out dry territory.
“If you see an unexpected visitor like this around your home, give it plenty of space and let us handle it,” the department reminded the community. “Apparently, even the gators are looking for higher ground these days!”
The department also added a bit of local humor to the unusual morning call: “And yes, before anyone asks, this little gator is not paying property taxes.”
