Houston's Thursday Has Cleared by Noon: 77.4 and Sunny, With Saturday's Halloween Rain at 59 Percent and Election Day's Storm Risk at 61
The overcast that hung over the morning is gone by midday - a clear, warm Thursday - while the two wet days ahead, Saturday and Tuesday, hold exactly where the morning feed put them.
HOUSTON - Houston's Thursday turned itself around by noon. The station's live Open-Meteo feed reads 77.4 degrees under a clear sky, code 0, feeling like 82.6 - up from 72.3 and overcast at the late-morning read, on the way to a high of 79.6 with a rain chance of just 2 percent and a low tonight of 65.4. It is the best afternoon of the week, and voters still weighing the last two days of early voting get it for free.
Friday, the final day of early voting, runs cooler and cloudier - code 3, a high of 75.9 and a low of 63.9, with an 11 percent rain chance on this read. Saturday is the week's first genuinely wet day: code 63, steady rain, a high of 85.8 and a low of 67.9, with the rain chance holding at 59 percent. Halloween costumes and porch plans should be built for rain, not around it.
The pattern after that is stable. Sunday is the warmest day of the seven at 88.6 with an 8 percent rain chance, Monday runs 87.5 at 4 percent, and Tuesday - Election Day - remains the day to plan around: code 96, a thunderstorm with a hail risk, a high of 76.7 and the week's highest rain chance at 61 percent. Wednesday clears back to code 0 and 76.6. The advice has not changed since dawn, only grown more confident: vote today or Friday, dress Saturday for rain, and leave extra time on Tuesday.
