HOUSTON, Texas – After a humid and stormy start to the weekend, Houston is gearing up for a stretch of warm, sunny fall weather. A few passing thunderstorms could still impact travel and outdoor plans along I-45 and Beltway 8 through late Saturday, but improving conditions arrive quickly on Sunday. Drivers should stay alert for slick roads and brief downpours before skies begin to clear by evening.
According to the National Weather Service in Houston/Galveston, showers will taper late Saturday as a weak front drifts offshore. South winds around 10 mph will bring drier air and lower humidity, setting up ideal conditions for Sunday events and outdoor plans. By Monday, sunshine returns in full force with highs near 86°F — a noticeable warm-up that will last through much of the week.
Residents planning early Halloween decorating or pumpkin patch visits will find this stretch perfect for outdoor work. However, those with sensitive plants should keep an eye on soil dryness as rainfall chances fade. Air quality and pollen levels may rise slightly under the extended dry pattern.
Looking ahead, sunny skies will dominate through midweek with highs in the upper 80s before modest cooling returns by late Thursday. Despite the heat, mornings will feel refreshing with lows near 60°F — classic early-fall comfort across southeast Texas.
