Houston is in for unsettled weather on July 11, with the National Weather Service forecasting a impressive chance of thunderstorms and showers. Temperatures are expected to range from 79°F in the early hours to a daytime high of 92°F, with a 47% probability of precipitation. Winds will stay mild, coming from the south at around 5 mph and adding to the humidity that often accompanies summer storms in the region.
The risk of rain is expected to last through the day and into the night. Morning and evening forecasts call for similar conditions, with thunderstorms still possible after sunset. Overnight, winds should remain steady from the south at 0 to 5 mph. The precipitation probability applies to the specified forecast area and period; it does not mean that the stated percentage of Houston’s land area will necessarily get rain.

Houston-area forecasts come from the National Weather Service’s Houston/Galveston Weather Forecast Office. Forecasts tied to Houston Hobby Airport describe that location specifically, not a single observation for the entire city. That distinction matters during summer thunderstorms, which can bring localized rainfall and different conditions across the metropolitan area.
Houston’s summer weather often brings high humidity and sudden storms, especially when moist air from the Gulf of Mexico meets local atmospheric conditions. The National Weather Service regularly updates forecasts to help residents and visitors prepare for changing weather. Daily updates matter particularly during periods of increased thunderstorm activity, which can disrupt travel and outdoor plans, with effects also felt across local infrastructure.
