Houston Weather at 11 A.M.: 78.9 Degrees Under Clear Skies - and Tuesday's Election Day Rain Chance Climbs to 88 Percent
The late-morning feed trims Sunday's high to 81.2, nearly clears Monday, and pushes the one number that matters most this week the wrong way: a hot, stormy Election Day now carries an 88 percent rain chance.
HOUSTON - Late Sunday morning is running warm and clear. The station's live feed puts Houston at 78.9 degrees at 11 a.m., feeling like 84.8 under clear code 0 skies - up from 73.8 at 9 a.m. - on the way to a Sunday high now trimmed to 81.2, with the low at 70.1 and the rain chance still just 7 percent despite Sunday's fog code 45 in the daily summary.
Monday keeps getting quieter. It stays overcast (code 3) with a high of 80.7 and a low of 68.4, but its rain chance has now fallen from 13 percent this morning to 5 percent - the driest workday read of the week so far, and a clean setup day before the election.
Tuesday is moving the other way, and it is still the day that matters. Election Day holds its thunderstorm code 95, its high of 85.6 - the warmest of the week - and its low of 72.8, but the rain chance has climbed again, from 85 percent at 9 a.m. to 88 percent now. Harris County vote centers are open Tuesday from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m.; voters should plan for a hot, wet trip to the polls and allow extra time.
Behind the election, the week keeps cooling and drying in the feed: Wednesday overcast at 83.1 with the rain chance down to 19 percent, Thursday drizzle (code 55) at 80.0 with the chance down to 8, then Friday overcast at 76.1 with a low of 61.3 and next Saturday 77.2 with a low of 62.2.
