Houston Wednesday Morning Weather: Overcast and Humid Near 70, Warming to About 80 With Rain Chances Building for Saturday
Houston starts Wednesday under a gray sky at 69.5 degrees with the air feeling like the mid-70s. The station feed puts the high near 80, other guidance a touch higher, and the week's real weather question is Saturday, when rain chances jump to 41 percent.
Houston's Wednesday began the way late-October Gulf mornings do: overcast, still and humid. Space City Daily's live weather feed read 69.5 degrees early Wednesday, feeling like 74.6, with no alerts in effect for the area. Weather.com's Houston observations told the same story from the other side of the thermometer - cloudy skies, humidity near 90 percent in the early hours and a light east-southeast breeze.
The day itself is a warm, gray one. The station feed puts Wednesday's high at 79.9 degrees with a low of 67.3 and only a 6 percent chance of precipitation; Weather.com's daily summary runs slightly warmer, to 82, with rain chances in the teens in the afternoon. Either way, it is a dry, mostly cloudy workday - the kind of morning where the commute is damp without being wet. Thursday stays overcast and a shade cooler on the feed, 78.2 over 64.5, and Friday turns drizzly and muggier, 78.7 over 71.1.
The turn comes on the weekend. Saturday warms sharply to 86.9 degrees on the feed - and carries the week's highest rain chance, 41 percent - before Sunday dries out under overcast skies at 89.4. Showers return on the long-range feed for Monday (89.8, 21 percent) and next Tuesday (79.8, 40 percent). For Houstonians making Halloween-weekend plans, Saturday is the day to watch: warm either way, with the rain chance decided in the next two days of model runs.
