Houston's Wednesday Night Has Cleared: 69.3 Under a Clean Sky, and Saturday's Halloween Rain Chance Is Down to 38 Percent
The overcast that sat on Houston all evening has broken - the late feed reads clear and 69.3 - and Halloween's rain chance has eased from a coin flip to 38 percent, though Tuesday's thunderstorm signal is building.
The clouds finally lost. Houston's live weather feed (Open-Meteo), read late Wednesday night, showed 69.3 degrees under a clear sky - weather code 0 - with the air feeling like 73.1. That is a different night from the one the evening files described: 71.2 and overcast at the 20:04 read, 74.4 and overcast before that, on a day that topped out at 79 with a low of 68 and a 16 percent rain chance.
Thursday and Friday both read overcast, code 3, and dry: Thursday at 77.3 and 64.7 with a 5 percent rain chance, Friday at 77.4 and 62.8 with a 4 percent chance - Friday's drizzle signal from the evening files is gone from this read.
Saturday - Halloween - keeps its rain-shower code, 80, with a high of 87.8 and a low of 70.4, but the chance has eased again, from 50 percent on the evening reads to 38 percent on this one. Sunday and Monday run hot and mostly dry, 88.7 and 88.8 under overcast skies. The week's back end still carries the storm signal: Tuesday reads thunderstorm, code 95, with the rain chance up to 55 percent from 49, a high of 76.4 and a low of 67.8. Trick-or-treat odds are improving; Thursday's and Friday's files will settle them.
