Houston Wednesday Afternoon: 78.3 and Partly Cloudy, the High Trimmed to 78.9, and Saturday's Rain Now Reads Drizzle
The clear noon sky has filled back in a little - the station's live feed reads 78.3 degrees and partly cloudy at mid-afternoon, feeling like 80.8, with Wednesday topping out just under 79 and the Halloween rain chance holding at 40 percent, now as drizzle.
Houston's Wednesday has settled into a warm, partly cloudy afternoon. The station's live weather feed (Open-Meteo), read at mid-afternoon, showed 78.3 degrees under partly cloudy skies - weather code 2 - with the air feeling like 80.8, and the day's high now put at 78.9 with a low of 68 and only a 6 percent rain chance. The high has been trimmed through the day, from the morning's near-81 to 79.5 at noon and now just under 79, and the outright clear sky of the noon read has given some ground back to cloud.
Thursday stays dry under overcast skies, code 3, with a high of 78, a low of 64.3 and a 5 percent rain chance. Friday keeps the week's first rain signal - drizzle, code 51 - with a high of 79.6, a low of 64.3 and a 10 percent rain chance.
The weekend remains the story, with a wording change worth noting: Saturday - Halloween - now carries a drizzle code (53) rather than plain overcast, with a high of 87.6, a low of 71.4 and the rain chance unchanged at 40 percent. Sunday stays hot with drizzle, code 51, at 87.6 with a low of 72.1 and a 5 percent chance. Behind the weekend, Monday has backed off its earlier thunderstorm signal to overcast, code 3, at 89.3 with a 16 percent rain chance, and Tuesday keeps the week's strongest storm signal - thunderstorms, code 95, a high of 79.5, a low of 68.7 and a 41 percent rain chance. The station will update the Halloween picture on the evening file as Saturday's chances firm up.
