Houston, Texas – Fall may be here, but Houston is waking up to another hot stretch, with temperatures climbing into the low 90s by Saturday. Dry conditions dominate through the weekend, but scattered showers could develop by late Sunday, creating a small window of disruption for outdoor plans.
According to the National Weather Service in Houston, Thursday brings sunshine with highs near 92 and only light winds. Friday may bring isolated afternoon thunderstorms, mainly north of the city, with highs staying in the upper 80s. Roads along I-45 and I-10 should remain dry through Saturday, but drivers should be alert Sunday as a 30 to 40 percent chance of rain could create slick evening commutes.
For residents planning fall festivals, sports, or Halloween decorating, the timing works in their favor. Friday night football and Saturday events should see clear skies and comfortable evening lows in the low 70s. Sunday brings a higher chance of scattered showers and storms, especially late in the day.
Warm afternoons and mild nights will continue into early next week, though humidity levels may climb as showers increase. Outdoor workers should stay hydrated during midday hours, with heat index values approaching 95 on the warmest afternoons.
More widespread rain chances arrive Monday and Tuesday, but highs still hover close to 90, keeping Houston in a late-summer pattern despite the October calendar.
Residents should take advantage of the dry spell through Saturday for outdoor projects and safe travel. Rain chances return Sunday and grow stronger into early next week, with more updates expected.
