Cool Temperatures and Thick Cloud Cover

Houston starts the day around 46°F, and conditions stay cool under persistent clouds. Afternoon highs reach about 64°F, which feels comfortable but slightly damp. Because skies remain fully overcast, sunshine will be limited. Even so, the weather stays stable, and many outdoor activities can proceed with only slight adjustments for moisture.

Light rain totals near 0.48 mm add to the gray feel of the day. While the rainfall stays gentle, roads may become slick. Commuters should allow extra time, especially during morning and evening peak hours. Although the rain intensity stays light, the combination of moisture and cool temperatures may reduce visibility at times.

Wind and Rain Details

Winds remain light from the southeast, averaging about 8 mph with gusts close to 20 mph. These breezes help keep the air fresh but should not disrupt daily plans. Because rain remains light, flooding concerns are low. However, puddling in low spots may still occur.

• Daytime high: about 64°F
• Morning low: near 40°F
• Evening temperature: around 59°F
• Wind: southeast near 8 mph
• Rain: light and scattered

Air Quality and Weather-Sensitive Alerts

Air quality stays in the good range today. Because winds remain light, pollutant levels stay low. Residents with asthma or allergies should feel comfortable outdoors for short periods. As clouds dominate the sky, UV exposure remains minimal.

No severe weather alerts are in effect. The Gulf remains quiet with no tropical development. While winter fronts may approach later this week, today’s pattern stays gentle and predictable. Even so, residents should watch for possible updates as new data becomes available.

What Houston Residents Should Expect

Although today brings no major hazards, the combination of full cloud cover and occasional drizzle creates a damp feel. Because temperatures remain cool, many people may want a light jacket throughout the day. Roads can stay wet, so drivers should use extra caution, especially near bridges and overpasses.

Outdoor workers should plan for light showers and cooler air. Since winds are mild, large-scale construction or shipping operations should not face meaningful disruption. Pet owners may want to plan walks between passing showers, as rain coverage remains on and off through the day.

Conclusion

Houston stays cool, cloudy, and lightly rainy throughout this Tuesday. With stable temperatures, light winds, and no severe weather expected, most plans can move forward with only small adjustments. Keep an umbrella nearby and check back with Houston Weather for updated forecasts.
