Houston is starting Friday under benign conditions, with readings generally in the 60s, a weak front moving through and a warm afternoon ahead. Most of the day should stay mostly sunny, with temperatures reaching near 81 before easing back later. The bigger weather story is the gradual turn toward thicker clouds and cooler air this weekend.
Some patchy fog may develop early, especially along and south of I-10, but daytime heating should clear it out. The latest National Weather Service forecast discussion calls for light winds Friday and no watches or warnings for the Houston area.
Clouds Build Before The Weekend Cooldown
Friday night will turn mostly cloudy with a low around 64, followed by a mostly cloudy Saturday topping out near 76. Rain is not expected in Houston during the day Saturday, though northeast winds will pick up slightly as the weekend pattern takes shape.
Sunday Looks Coolest And Dampest
Rain chances rise late Saturday night and Sunday, with the greatest potential for showers across areas west of I-45. Houston's forecast calls for a mostly cloudy Sunday with a high near 66 and a low around 56, making it the coolest day of the outlook. The regional forecast also allows for scattered showers, and possibly a thunderstorm, though the city's rain chance remains modest.
Temperatures Rebound Into The 70s Next Week
Monday brings showers in the region through the afternoon, with highs gradually returning to the 70s. Tuesday should brighten to mostly sunny with a high near 73, while Veterans Day stays mild, with highs in the 70s; rain chances return Wednesday. Both the Thursday's Hoodline forecast and the current outlook point to Sunday readings in the 60s, while the workweek still trends comfortably warm.
