Weather around Houston
Houston's best weekend weather is usually on the water or a little inland. Galveston and the beaches south of it often get a Gulf breeze that keeps highs below the city's, while the Piney Woods north toward Huntsville can be a touch cooler in the morning and shadier all day.
Summer storms here tend to pop up in the afternoon, so a high rain chance can still leave a dry morning. In fall and spring, fronts usually reach the towns to the north and west before Houston, so the weekend can clear inland first.
How we pick
"Good" means a high from 55F to 88F, a forecast of sun or clouds, and at most a 30% chance of rain or snow, with no thunderstorm, dangerous heat or cold, strong gusts or smoke. "Mixed" means one day is good and the other isn't. Picks are ordered by that, then by the forecast and how much of a destination the town is.
Drive times start at the center of Houston and go to the center of each town. They come from a table built on OpenStreetMap and do not include traffic or seasonal road closures.
