In brief: Houston will see slightly lower humidity today before atmospheric moisture ramps up on Friday and Saturday. Will this turn into showers and thunderstorms? We\u2019ll definitely have our chances, especially on Saturday, but rains look pretty hit or miss. Better chances come Tuesday with a really sweet fall front.<\/p>\n

Saturday rains?<\/p>\n

There are a lot of outdoor events in Houston this weekend. Halloween comes on Saturday, of course, along with the large downtown celebration Scream on the Green Friday night, and Boo on the Boardwalk in Kemah on Friday and Saturday. Additionally there is the Wings Over Houston Airshow on Saturday and Sunday at Ellington Airport, and so much more. All of that to say, there is a lot riding on the rain forecast for this weekend.<\/p>\n

\"\"NOAA rain accumulation forecast for now through Saturday. (Weather Bell)<\/p>\n

We are seeing some modestly drier air move into the Houston region today, and this will hang around through Friday morning. After this we will start to see increasing levels of moisture in the atmosphere. This will increase humidity levels as well as support the potential for rain showers. There will lead to the possibility of scattered, light showers on Friday.<\/p>\n

Moisture levels will peak on Saturday, and with a series of disturbances moving through we will have the potential for more widespread showers, and possibly some thunderstorms. This activity will be pretty hit or miss, in that probably only about half of the region will see any precipitation. And amounts will be modest for most locations, probably a tenth of an inch of rain, or two. This shower activity should start to wane by Saturday afternoon, in time for trick-or-treating on Saturday evening. Sunday should be rain free.<\/p>\n

Thursday<\/p>\n

Temperatures have fallen to around 60 degrees this morning for parts of the area, thanks to the inflow of slightly drier air. This should lead to a partly sunny day, with highs in the lower 80s. This will be the last day with modestly lower humidity until next Tuesday or so, when a much stronger front pushes through. Rain chances are near zero with the drier air. Lows tonight will likely drop into the lower 60s.<\/p>\n

Friday and Saturday<\/p>\n

As discussed above, we\u2019ll see some decent (although far from overpowering) rain chances during this period. Skies will be partly to mostly cloudy on both days, with highs in the low- to mid-80s for most locations. Temperatures during the trick-or-treating hour will be in the upper 70s, with plenty of humidity. Nights will only drop into the upper 60s.<\/p>\n

Sunday and Monday<\/p>\n

These will be partly sunny and rather warm days, with highs in the mid-80s for the region and muggy air. If you\u2019re ready for Houston to feel like fall, read on.<\/p>\n

\"\"Our temperatures next week won\u2019t be exactly like this, but you can see that much more seasonable weather is on the way, and should hang around for awhile. (Weather Bell)<\/p>\n

Tuesday and beyond<\/p>\n

At some point on Tuesday a genuine fall cold front is going to move through the area. If we are lucky, and I am hopeful we will be, there will be a decent shot of rain (perhaps 0.5 to 1.5 inches in total) with the frontal passage, possibly in the form of some thunderstorms. Anyway, large chunks of Houston could really use some rain. Following the front\u2019s passage I think we\u2019ll see mostly sunny conditions through the weekend, with highs generally in the 70s and lows in the 50s. It should be really, really nice.<\/p>\n
