Houston Weather Update
The city of Houston is experiencing a pleasant pattern in the weather, which is expected to hold through most of the weekend. However, a brief disturbance may bring the possibility of rain to the area on Saturday.
Fall Chill Holds for Halloween
Houston will continue to enjoy fantastic fall weather with another chilly night in the 40s. This beautiful weather will continue into Halloween, which will be clear, mild, and dry with highs in the mid 70s. Trick-or-treaters can expect ideal conditions with light winds and temperatures in the 60s during prime candy collecting hours, dropping into the 50s overnight.
Brief Shot of Rain on Saturday
There is a chance for afternoon and evening showers on Saturday, mainly driven by an approaching front. Severe storms are not expected with this front. This front will then clear the area, setting up another round of cooler, drier air for Sunday with highs in the low to middle 70s.
Tropical Weather Update
Hurricane Melissa, after causing widespread catastrophic damage in Jamaica and Cuba, is now a Category 2 hurricane moving away from the Bahamas and racing toward the North Atlantic. The storm is forecast to pass just to the west of Bermuda and poses no threat to the US mainland. Melissa will become "post-tropical" over the weekend as it moves over cooler waters. There are no other areas of concern in the Atlantic basin for development at this time. However, it’s essential to stay alert as hurricane season will continue for about another month.
Conclusion
In conclusion, Houston’s weather is expected to remain pleasant for most of the weekend, with a brief chance of rain on Saturday. Hurricane Melissa is moving away from the Bahamas and poses no threat to the US mainland. As the city enjoys the fall weather, it’s crucial to stay informed about the latest weather updates and forecasts. With Halloween just around the corner, the clear and mild weather will provide ideal conditions for trick-or-treaters and outdoor activities.
