Houston is getting a classic late-October reset: clear skies Saturday, an afternoon high near 84, and almost no reason to keep the umbrella within arm’s reach. The city starts the day in the low 60s before sunshine takes over, with a light east breeze building through the afternoon.

Sunny Saturday, Breezier By Afternoon

The National Weather Service expects rain chances to remain essentially zero Saturday, while east winds of 5 to 10 mph could gust to 20 mph. Saturday night stays mostly clear with a low around 62, making for comfortable plans after sunset.

Sunday Starts The Week Warm

Sunday will be partly sunny with a high near 81. Monday and Tuesday remain warm and mostly dry, with highs near 81 and 80 and overnight lows in the low-to-mid 60s.

Precipitation Chances Return Early In The Week

Monday night will be mostly cloudy, followed by partly sunny skies Tuesday. Precipitation chances return early in the workweek. Wednesday brings a slight chance of thunderstorms and a high near 82; Thursday stays mostly sunny, while rain is possible Friday or Saturday.

Gulf Winds May Be A Bigger Story

For boaters, the more notable weather may be offshore: east to southeast winds could reach 20 knots or a little higher from late Saturday through late Monday, with seas building to 3 to 6 feet Sunday and possibly around 7 feet offshore Monday. No watches or warnings are posted for the Houston area, but caution flags or Small Craft Advisories may be needed for coastal waters.
