HOUSTON, Texas (KTRK) — Another warm afternoon on the way, we’ll top out in the low 90s, 10 degrees or more above our normal highs for this time of year. We could see a tiny bit of moisture move in Friday afternoon which is why we have in a 10% chance of rain. Most of SE Texas will stay completely dry.
When will rain chances return?
Rain chances look slim through the weekend, but there is a pocket of moisture sliding in south of I-10 on Friday that’s good enough to warrant a 10% chance of a shower. Otherwise, we’ll have to wait until closer to Halloween for a pattern change that should bring up moisture levels significantly and eventually bring about some rain chances. Right now we have small rain chances starting next Wednesday at 20% then peaking at 30% on Halloween. This type of pattern usually yields scattered showers rolling in from the Gulf of Mexico, so no widespread rain is anticipated at this time.
Speaking of Halloween, what is the early outlook for the weather that day?
It will almost certainly be a warm, humid Halloween with a small chance for streamer showers blowing in from the Gulf of Mexico. Low temperatures will start off in the low 70s, then arm into the mid 80s during the afternoon. A quick passing shower is possible at any time of day, including during Trick-or-Treat time.
What are you tracking in the tropics?
The tropics will likely stay quiet until the first week of November when a storm may try to spin up over the Caribbean. Head to our daily Tropical Update page for a complete look at what we’re covering in the tropics.
