HOUSTON, Texas (KTRK) — It’s starting to feel more like September again as high temperatures trend toward 90 degrees, but there is a pattern change coming next week that should at least bring back some opportunities for rain.
Temperatures Tuesday morning will once again drop into the upper 50s and lower 60s for most inland locations with patchy fog possible before sunrise. At the very least, expect a heavy dew on the ground to start the day.
If you’re going to vote early on Tuesday, the best time of day to get stuck outside in a line will be in the morning when temperatures are still in the 60s and 70s. All afternoon will be spent in the 80s with the high peaking around 87 degrees. The sky will vary from clear to partly cloudy throughout the day.
When could we see our next chance of rain?
Rain chances look slim this week, 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.
What weather scenarios are on the table for Halloween?
For now it will most likely be a warm, humid Halloween with a small chance for streamer showers blowing in from the Gulf of Mexico. An alternate scenario with a slim chance of occurring is for a cool front to slip in on or just before Halloween to bring a line of storms and possibly some cooler weather behind it. We’ll hopefully have more clarity on which scenario winds out by this weekend!
Speaking of the weekend, how does the forecast look for now?
The final weekend of October will be like most of the others this month: Unseasonably warm and humid with lows in the 60s and highs in the upper 80s.
What are you tracking in the tropics?
Tropical Storm Oscar should move northeast back into the Atlantic Tuesday. It will not be a threat to the mainland United States. Head to our daily Tropical Update page for a complete look at what we’re covering in the tropics.
