Houston, TX – Houstonians waking up Wednesday, October 1, can expect another round of early fall sunshine as temperatures stay near 90°F. While mornings feel mild, afternoon highs remain summerlike, reminding drivers and outdoor workers to stay hydrated and use caution in direct heat.
According to the National Weather Service, Houston skies will stay clear and sunny through Friday with only a slight chance of thunderstorms developing late that afternoon. Commuters along I-45, U.S. 59, and the 610 Loop should not anticipate major traffic delays from weather, though isolated showers could briefly slow travel. Residents planning early Halloween decorating or outdoor fall events should take advantage of the dry, sunny stretch through Saturday.
Friday will bring the first hint of unsettled weather. A weak system could spark isolated thunderstorms after 1 p.m., though most areas will remain dry. Saturday looks bright again, but forecasters warn of increasing shower chances Sunday, October 5, when a 40 percent chance of rain may affect afternoon activities.
Looking ahead, Houston’s extended five-day forecast shows:
