Houston Weather Wednesday Late Night: 65.4 Degrees Under a Cleared Sky - and Thursday's Clear Code Is Gone, Replaced by Fog at 73.3
The rain holiday ends clear and cooling. Thursday now opens with a fog code before a 73.3 high, Friday holds its revised 75.2, and the Sunday-Monday rain chances stay at 63 percent each.
Houston's rainy Veterans Day ended under a sky that finally cleared. At the late-night read, the station's weather feed showed 65.4 degrees, feeling like 68.9, under a clear-sky code - the overcast that had covered the city in every earlier edition on Wednesday is gone, and the temperature has slipped from 67.3 in the 21:04 file. Wednesday's own numbers are final: a high of 72.7, a low of 59.3 and the 84 percent precipitation chance that defined the holiday.
Thursday is the day that changed again. The 21:04 file carried Thursday under a clear code at 73.2; the late read replaces that clear code with a fog code - 45 in the feed's terms - while holding the high at 73.3, the low at 58.1 and the precipitation chance at zero. It is the day's second fog appearance, after the afternoon edition carried the same code before it briefly cleared: drivers with an early Thursday start should plan for a foggy morning that burns off into a dry, mild afternoon.
Friday holds the line this evening's revision drew. After the 4.4-degree downgrade recorded at 21:04 - from 79.6 to 75.2 - the late feed keeps Friday overcast, dry and at 75.2, with a low of 52.2 that remains the coldest night in the seven-day run. Saturday is unchanged: overcast, a high of 70.6, a warm low of 60.3 and an 8 percent rain chance.
The weekend's wet stretch did not move. Sunday keeps its 63 percent rain chance at a cool high of 63.6, Monday keeps its 63 percent at 69.8, and Tuesday turns mostly clear at 69.9 with the chance down to 6 percent. The shape of what is left of the week: a foggy start Thursday, the week's warmest remaining day Friday at a reduced 75.2, and a Sunday-Monday pair that both still read as more likely wet than not.
