HOUSTON, Texas (KTRK) — We started off your Wednesday with cool to mild temperatures and patchy fog. That fog burned off quickly and is yielding to sunny skies. This sunshine will allow temperatures to climb into the upper 80s/low 90s.
Thursday will look about the same as Wednesday, but we could see a bit more cloud cover and possibly an isolated coastal shower Friday. Most of us will stay completely dry.
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. Right now we have rain chances at 20% for next Wednesday through Friday.
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 near 90.
What are you tracking in the tropics?
Oscar has dissipated, and 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 Updatepage for a complete look at what we’re covering in the tropics.
