Houston Tuesday Weather: Overcast and 79, With Rain Chances Easing Into Midweek
Houston starts Tuesday at 64.7 degrees under a full overcast, and the station feed now puts the day at 79.1 degrees with a 12 percent rain chance - the light-rain code from the overnight hours is gone, Wednesday's chance has eased to 9 percent, and the week's rain still waits for Friday and Halloween Saturday.
Houston's Tuesday has settled into a grey, warm pattern. The station's live Open-Meteo feed read 64.7 degrees and overcast in the early hours, feeling like 66.5, and it codes the day itself as overcast - code 3 - with a high of 79.1, a low of 63 and a precipitation chance of 12 percent. That is a material change from the overnight update, which carried a light-rain code for Tuesday; FOX 26's weather desk still allows a few showers returning Tuesday within mostly cloudy, comfortable conditions and highs in the low to middle 80s through Thursday.
Midweek now looks drier than it did overnight. Wednesday carries an overcast code, a high of 80 and a low of 66, with the rain chance down to 9 percent, and Thursday is the week's clean day - overcast, 83.3 degrees, and a zero rain chance on the feed. Ragweed and tree pollen remain the other constant, running high in FOX 26's file.
The rain event still builds at the end of the week, but its shape has shifted. Friday now carries the higher of the two late-week chances on the feed - a light-rain code, a high of 80.7 and 26 percent - while Halloween Saturday's chance has eased to 23 percent, coded as rain 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, with most of the rain gone by Saturday night.
Beyond the weekend the feed stays warm: Sunday reaches 89.4 degrees with a 5 percent chance, and Monday 86.2 with light rain coded and a 9 percent chance. The Weather Desk files its regular morning update at 05:00 and again at 17:00.
