Houston Wednesday Evening: 78.4 and Mostly Clear, and Halloween's Rain Chance Has Climbed to 50 Percent
The evening read keeps Houston warm and mostly clear at 78.4 degrees - but the numbers behind the weekend have firmed up the wrong way for trick-or-treaters: Saturday's drizzle chance is now 50 percent, Wednesday's own rain chance has tripled to 16, and Tuesday's storm signal now carries hail.
Houston's Wednesday is closing warm and mostly clear. The station's live weather feed (Open-Meteo), read in the early evening, showed 78.4 degrees under mostly clear skies - weather code 1 - with the air feeling like 81.1, the day's high put at 78.6 with a low of 68. One number has moved against the dry script the day started with: Wednesday's own rain chance now reads 16 percent, up from 6 percent on the afternoon file, though the evening itself still reads dry.
Thursday stays dry under overcast skies, code 3, with a high of 78.1, a low of 65.4 and a 5 percent rain chance. Friday keeps the drizzle signal, code 51, with a high of 79.6, a low of 63.6 and a 14 percent rain chance.
Saturday - Halloween - is now the week's coin flip. The feed holds the drizzle code (53) and the heat, a high of 87.6 with a low of 71.4, but the rain chance has climbed from 40 percent on the afternoon read to 50 percent this evening. Sunday eases back to drizzle, code 51, at 87.6 with a low of 72.1 and only a 3 percent chance. Monday stays the week's hottest day, overcast at 89.3 with a 16 percent chance, and Tuesday's storm signal has strengthened: the code now reads 96 - thunderstorm with hail - with a high of 79.5, a low of 68.7 and a 49 percent rain chance. The station will keep updating the Halloween picture on Friday's files as the weekend chances settle.
