Houston Tuesday Weather: A Few Showers Return as Halloween Rain Chances Spread Earlier in the Week
A few showers return to Houston on Tuesday as rain chances spread earlier through the week: the station feed puts Tuesday at 78.3 degrees with a light-rain code, and a plume of moisture brings scattered showers and storms Friday into early Halloween Saturday - with most of the rain gone by Saturday night.
Houston's rain chances are spreading earlier through the week. The station's live Open-Meteo feed read 63.9 degrees and overcast in the early hours of Tuesday, and it now codes the day itself as light rain - code 51 - with a high of 78.3, a low of 61.8 and a precipitation chance of 8 percent. FOX 26's weather desk tells the same story in words: a few showers return Tuesday, and a few isolated showers are also possible Wednesday and Thursday, with highs in the low to middle 80s and mostly cloudy, comfortable conditions.
The station feed puts Wednesday at 80.7 degrees with a 16 percent rain chance and Thursday at 83.3 with no rain chance - the driest day of the stretch. Allergy sufferers should note the other constant in FOX 26's file: ragweed and tree pollen levels are running high.
The week's main rain event still builds at the end of it. Friday carries a light-rain code on the feed, a high of 80.7 and a 22 percent chance, and Halloween Saturday carries the week's highest chance at 32 percent, with a high of 87. FOX 26 expects a plume of moisture to bring at least scattered showers and storms Friday and into early Halloween Saturday - and, in the update trick-or-treat planners needed, it appears at this point that most of the rain will be gone by Saturday night.
Beyond the weekend, the feed warms back up: Sunday reaches 89.4 degrees with a 6 percent chance, and Monday 86.2 with light rain coded and a 12 percent chance. The Weather Desk updates this file with the 05:00 morning file and again at 17:00.
