HOUSTON, TX – A still, warm Halloween morning greets the Bayou City as patchy fog and a cool breeze drift through the neighborhoods, hinting at a calm start before a slight shift later in the weekend. The National Weather Service in Houston says Friday stays dry and mild, with highs near 73°F under clear skies and calm north winds.
Travelers and early trick-or-treaters can expect ideal conditions — no rain, light winds, and comfortably warm air that feels more like early fall than late October. By Saturday, however, a weak boundary slides south across Southeast Texas, bringing a 30% chance of scattered showers and isolated thunderstorms, mainly after midday. Most rain should be brief, but it could temporarily dampen outdoor events from Katy to Galveston.
Behind the boundary, Sunday clears out quickly, leaving highs near 72°F and dry, stable air through early next week. The stretch from Monday into Wednesday looks warm and sunny, with highs rising into the upper 70s and low 80s, a sign that Gulf warmth hasn’t quite let go.
For those planning outdoor activities or travel, no severe weather is expected, but keep an eye on brief Saturday showers. The first full week of November begins mild, but forecasters note long-range models hint at cooler north winds returning late next week — the next early sign of a possible mid-November cold snap.
