Houston residents can anticipate a slight break from the rain this morning and a return to more fall-like weather in the coming week. According to the National Weather Service, today will be partly sunny with temperatures reaching a high of around 78°F, accompanied by a gentle north wind at about 5 mph. Tonight, there’s a slight chance of showers from 10 p.m. to 2 a.m., followed by patchy fog after 3 a.m. Conditions will be mostly cloudy with a low around 70°F and a northeast breeze of 5 mph. The chance of rain is 20%.
Early this morning, a cold front moving from the northwest to the southeast has ushered in scattered showers in the area, as reported by Click2Houston. The forecast suggests that the storms will move east of Houston by 9 a.m.
Looking ahead to Sunday, the locale is expected to bask in partly sunny conditions with a high near 81 degrees and a low around 66 in the evening. Veterans Day is forecasted to be sunny with a consistent northerly breeze, helping daytime temperatures reach a comfortable 82 degrees.
In the broader picture of weather patterns, Click2Houston outlines Hurricane Rafael's trajectory as it ventures back into the Gulf of Mexico and its transformation over the next few days. The hurricane poses no direct threat, but elevated rip currents and rough seas could affect coastal activities through the weekend. A considerably potent fall cold front expected next week promises a big cooldown, bringing highs down into the upper-60s and lower-70s, while lows are anticipated to drop to the upper-40s and 50s. Residents can look forward to a respite from the heat, with temperatures poised to linger in the 70s for the latter part of the next week.
