Houston Weather Wednesday Overnight: Heavy Rain at 60.4 Degrees - Today's Chance Is Up to 84 Percent, Then 75 Thursday and 79.8 Friday
The heavy-rain day the evening files promised is here. Wednesday codes 65 at an 84 percent chance and a cooler 66.6 high - and the Veterans Day ceremony and parade downtown will run through it before Thursday dries out.
Wednesday's heavy rain is no longer a forecast - it is the weather outside. The station's live Open-Meteo feed read 60.4 degrees, feeling like 61.2, under code 65 - heavy rain - in the overnight check, and Wednesday itself holds code 65 with a high of 66.6, a low of 59.5 and a precipitation chance that has climbed through the night to 84 percent, up from 62 percent in the late Tuesday file. The day's high was also revised down, from 68.4 to 66.6.
That timing matters downtown, where the city's Houston Salutes American Heroes Veterans Day ceremony steps off at City Hall at 10 a.m. and the American Heroes Parade follows at 11:30. Both are outdoor events on a code 65 day: anyone heading downtown should plan for steady rain through the ceremony hours, wet streets along the parade route, and temperatures holding in the low to mid-60s rather than warming.
The break behind the rain is close and it is warm. Thursday codes 45 with a high of 75.1 and a 1 percent rain chance, and Friday is the week's dry peak at 79.8 under code 3 with no rain chance at all. Saturday eases back to 71.5 under code 82 with a 10 percent chance.
The weekend's second half still carries the next system: Sunday and Monday both hold a 50 percent rain chance, Sunday at code 3 with a high of 65.9 and Monday at code 3 with a high of 67.6 and the week's coldest low, 52.6. Tuesday, the last day on the board, is the clearest of the week - code 0, a high of 67.7 and a 4 percent chance. For the rest of tonight, expect heavy rain near 60 degrees.
