Houston Weather at 4 P.M.: 81 Degrees and Clearing for Trick-or-Treat, With Tuesday Thunderstorms at 89 Percent
The Halloween sky has cleared over Houston at 81.3 degrees after the midday showers, Sunday turns warm behind the clock change, and Election Day's thunderstorm line now carries an 89 percent precipitation figure.
Houston's Halloween has turned the corner. The station's live weather feed read 81.3 degrees under code-0 clear skies at about 4 p.m. Saturday, with a feels-like reading of 88.7 in the humid air - warmer and clearer than the 2 p.m. file, which had the city at 80.4 under overcast. The day's high is 81.4, the precipitation figure for the day holds at 36 percent, and tonight's low is 68.1.
For the trick-or-treat hours, that is the best version of this Halloween the week offered: the midday shower window is behind the city, the evening runs dry and muggy in the upper 70s, and damp streets are the main leftover from the morning. Costumes built for warm weather will do fine; the rain gear can stay home.
Sunday is warm and quiet behind the 2 a.m. clock change. The feed puts Sunday under code 45 - fog - with a high of 82.4, a low of 70.5 and a precipitation figure of just 3 percent. Monday warms further to 84.5 with light-rain chances of 8 percent, the last calm day before the front.
Election Day remains the week's main event, and it firmed up in this read: Tuesday sits under code 95 - thunderstorms - with a high of 82.5, a low of 68.2 and a precipitation figure of 89 percent, up a point from the afternoon file and the highest of the week. Wednesday turns overcast and cooler at 78 with a low of 62.6, and Thursday and Friday run near 80 and dry. The Weather Desk's next full update is the 17:00 evening file.
