Houston's Thursday Starts Clear at 64.6 Degrees and Warms to 78.8; Friday's Rain Chance Ticks Up Ahead of a Wet Halloween
The 05:00 feed nudges the end of the week wetter - Friday's rain chance is up to 10 percent, Saturday's rain day holds at 54, and Election Day's storm signal still leads the week - while Thursday itself stays dry for early voting.
HOUSTON - Houston starts Thursday under a clear sky at 64.6 degrees, feeling like 67.6, on the station's live Open-Meteo feed - and the day ahead is the calmest on the board. Thursday tops out at 78.8, a full degree warmer than the pre-dawn feed carried, with a rain chance of just 3 percent. Friday runs 76.7 with a low of 61.5. Those are the final two days of early voting, and both remain umbrella-free, exactly as this station's overnight files promised.
The feed's small moves all point the same direction, though: slightly wetter. Friday's rain chance has risen from 7 percent in the overnight read to 10 percent this morning. Saturday is unchanged and still the weekend's headline - rain, code 61, a high of 85.1 and a 54 percent rain chance for Halloween. Sunday and Monday rebound to 86.1 and 87.2 with rain chances back in single digits.
Beyond the weekend sits the week's real appointment: Tuesday, Election Day, still carries code 96 - thunderstorm with a hail risk - at 82.7 degrees with a 56 percent rain chance, the highest of the seven days, before Wednesday clears to a sunny 78.1. The practical advice has not changed since the pre-dawn file, because the feed has not changed it: vote Thursday or Friday if you can, plan Saturday's trick-or-treating around rain, and do not leave an Election Day trip to the polls to a day the forecast has been flagging all week.
