🎃 Today's post discusses what may be our nicest Halloween forecast, ever.
👻 We also talk about the potential for some showers on Saturday (more likely closer to the coast)
🦇 Conditions gradually warm during the second half of next week.Halloween outlook 🎃👻🦇👻🎃🎃 I have been writing about the weather in Houston for more than two decades. Almost every year on Halloween there is some concern, be it the potential for rain, or humidity, or winds, or something. 👻 This year, we have absolutely zero concerns. Temperatures near sunset Mild, in the upper 60s. 💙Skies? Clear 🌛Winds? Light, maybe 5 mph from the north 🌬 Humidity? Haha, there will be none 🤎Seriously, enjoy the very fine evening 🎃FRIDAY -👻 We're starting out with the region's coldest weather in more than half a year, with much of the area falling into the 40s.
👻 Skies will be sunny today, with extraordinarily pleasant highs in the mid-70s, and light winds.
👻 Today is one of the region's top-10 weather days of the year.
👻 Lows tonight will be several degrees warmer than Thursday night as winds shift to come from the southeast.
👻 Most of the region will drop into the low to mid-50s.SATURDAY -*This will be a bit of a cloudier day as the onshore flow resumes and moisture returns. The question is, will there be enough moisture to support showers as a reinforcing front pushes into the area?
*For areas north of Interstate 10, I think the answer is probably not.
*For areas along and south of the freeway, especially down closer to the coast, there is perhaps a 40 percent chance of some showers during the afternoon and evening hours.
*I don't think we are going to see anything severe, but a few tenths of an inch of rain are possible.
*Highs Saturday will be in the mid-70s, with lows falling into the lower 50s for most.SUNDAY -*A fine, sunny day with highs in the low to mid 70s.
*Expect modest northerly winds (nothing like Wednesday) as cooler air from the front arrives.
*Lows on Sunday night will drop into the lower 50s.NEXT WEEK -*We'll be in the 70s for a couple of days next week before a warming trend into the lower 80s.
*Overnight lows will recover by the second half of the week, likely into the low 60s.
*Rain chances look low throughout most of the period.
*It's possible that a weak front arrives by Friday or Saturday, bringing a bit higher chance of rain, but I don't have much confidence in the forecast at that point.
*We'll be back on Monday with better information-hopefully! Have a great weekend, everyone. 🌞
