HOUSTON, Texas – Early risers across southeast Texas are stepping into another mild, calm start this Sunday, as Fall sunshine stretches into the workweek with highs pushing near 90 degrees by Tuesday. After a bright Columbus Day holiday, Houston and nearby counties will hold steady under clear skies and dry air—ideal conditions for outdoor events, travel, or seasonal decorating.
According to the National Weather Service in Houston/Galveston, a light southeast breeze will build each afternoon, keeping air quality moderate but occasionally hazy. No rain is expected through Wednesday, though humidity will rise slightly midweek before a weak front slides in late Thursday. Drivers on I-45 and I-10 can expect steady visibility and smooth commutes, but afternoon warmth may feel summer-like, especially for those attending outdoor classes or returning to work after the holiday.
By midweek, southeast Texas could see subtle cooling—highs dipping from the upper 80s to the mid-80s by Thursday, with lows holding near 68°F. The long stretch of sunshine benefits local farmers markets, pumpkin patches, and outdoor sports, offering one of October’s best stretches for leaf viewing and family outings.
Residents are urged to stay hydrated, use sun protection, and plan early-week outdoor chores before humidity increases. Though the region avoids any cold snap this week, forecasters note potential for light rain chances heading into next weekend.
