Houston Weather at 11 A.M. Monday: 79.8 Degrees and Mainly Clear - Election Day Still a Drizzle Coin Flip at 50 Percent
The morning warmed fast and the sky cleared with it. At 11 a.m. the station's live feed reads 79.8 degrees, feeling like 85.7, under a mainly clear sky (code 2) - up from 74.5 and overcast at 9 a.m. Tuesday's Election Day line holds its friendlier downgrade: moderate drizzle (code 53) at 50 percent, 80.0 over 61.6.
HOUSTON - Houston stood at 79.8 degrees under a mainly clear sky (code 2) at 11 a.m. on Monday, feeling like 85.7, according to the station's live weather feed - a 5.3-degree jump from the 9 a.m. read, with the sky code clearing from overcast (3) to mainly clear (2) in the same two hours.
Monday itself stays the week's driest day: overcast in the daily line (code 3) with a high of 82.6, a low of 70.4 and a rain chance now down to 2 percent. Nothing in the feed threatens the afternoon.
Tuesday - Election Day - holds the downgrade the 9 a.m. file recorded: code 53, moderate drizzle, a 50 percent rain chance, a high of 80.0 and a low of 61.6. That is a long way from the violent-rain-showers code (82) and high-70s rain odds the day carried at dawn, and it is the line voters will plan around when polls open at 7 a.m. Rain remains possible; a washout is no longer the forecast.
Behind it, Wednesday is overcast at 80.9 with a low of 59.5 - the week's coolest morning - and a 15 percent rain chance. Thursday remains the week's cool day at a high of 71.4 with a dense-drizzle code (55) at 35 percent, Friday carries moderate drizzle (53) at 79 degrees and 28 percent, Saturday returns to overcast at 83.6, and Sunday is mainly clear at 81.6. This desk reads the feed again this afternoon.
