HOUSTON - Houston stood at 81.4 degrees under clear skies at 1 p.m. on Sunday, feeling like 88.4 in the early-afternoon sun, according to the station's live weather feed - up from 78.9 degrees at 11 a.m. and on its way to a Sunday high of 82.6, with the day's low at 70.1 and only a 7 percent chance of rain under the day's fog code.
Monday turns overcast and slightly cooler: a high of 80.7 and a low of 68.4, with the rain chance trimmed to 5 percent - the driest day on the board and the last quiet one before the election.
Tuesday, Election Day, remains the week's weather story: thunderstorms (code 95), a high of 85.2 and a low of 71.7, with the rain chance holding at 88 percent. Voters heading to Harris County's vote centers, open 7 a.m. to 7 p.m., should plan for wet roads and keep an umbrella in the car; the rain is a daytime event in the current feed, not a washout that cancels anything.
Behind the storms, Wednesday turns overcast and cooler at 80.9 and 66.1 with a 19 percent rain chance, and the rest of the week settles back into the low-to-mid 80s - Thursday 83.4, Friday 83.8 and Saturday 81.8, each with only a small rain chance in the feed.
