Houston starts Wednesday, October 28, under partly sunny skies with mild temperatures and a warm afternoon ahead. The high should reach about 83 degrees, but scattered showers and an isolated thunderstorm could interrupt the day, especially after late morning.
Showers May Pop Up After 10 a.m.
The National Weather Service puts rain chances near 20% Wednesday. Showers may arrive after 1 p.m., and a few thunderstorms are possible during the afternoon. East winds should run 5 to 10 mph during the afternoon.
Wednesday night should be partly cloudy with a low around 63 and only a slight shower chance before 7 p.m. No watches, warnings or advisories are posted for the Houston area, though damp roads could still complicate parts of the afternoon commute.
Thursday Dries Out Before Halloween Weekend
Thursday looks like the week's easier outdoor day, with mostly sunny skies, light east winds and a high near 81. Friday turns partly sunny with a slight chance of rain in the afternoon, while Saturday, October 31, brings the best chance for showers and thunderstorms at 30%.
The latest outlook is a wetter update from Tuesday's Houston forecast, especially for Halloween plans. Sunday should be mostly sunny and warm near 82, with rain chances dropping sharply after the weekend.
Coastal Areas Face A Separate Concern
Persistent easterly winds will keep Gulf seas around 3 to 4 feet, with occasional higher waves offshore. Minor coastal flooding remains possible around high tide through the end of the workweek, particularly along exposed coastal areas.
