Houston Weather at 4 A.M.: 71 Degrees and Overcast, Halloween Tops Out Near 81, Election Day Thunderstorms Jump to 80 Percent
Halloween Saturday stays warm in Houston, with a high near 81 and a 36 percent drizzle chance in the station's live feed — and the Election Day thunderstorm signal strengthened overnight to 80 percent for Tuesday.
Houston starts Halloween warm and grey. The station's live weather feed (Open-Meteo) showed 71 degrees and overcast skies at 4 a.m. Saturday, feeling like 75.9, on the way to a daytime high of 80.8 with a low of 68.1. The feed carries Saturday under weather code 51 — light drizzle — with a 36 percent precipitation chance, so trick-or-treat plans should keep a light layer and a small umbrella within reach even though the day stays mild.
The numbers moved overnight. Saturday's high rose from 78 in the 2 a.m. file to 80.8 in this read, and Sunday now shows code 45 — fog — with a high of 81.3, a low of 68.1 and only a 3 percent rain chance. Monday warms further to 83.6 under another light-drizzle code, again with a minimal 3 percent precipitation chance.
Election Day is the day the feed keeps flagging. Tuesday, November 3 now carries code 96 — thunderstorms with hail — a high of 84.6, a low of 65.6 and an 80 percent precipitation chance, up from 72 percent in the 2 a.m. file. Voters heading to Harris County vote centers on Tuesday should plan for wet weather for at least part of the day. Wednesday clears to code 1 with a cooler high of 76.3 and a 31 percent rain chance.
The station updates the forecast on the 05:00 morning file as the Halloween drizzle signal and Tuesday's storm timing firm up.
