November-like weather coming to Houston for this weekend

Good morning. We’re going to see another day or so of moderate temperatures with fairly humid air before really dry, fall-like weather arrives in Houston. Then it’s going to be beautiful, November-like weather for awhile.

Election Day

A large upper-level disturbance moved into Texas on Monday night from Mexico, but the bulk of the storm activity related to this system this morning has developed over central parts of the state, and for the most part I expect any significant rains today to remain west and southwest of the Houston metro area. High temperatures should be in the mid-70s under mostly cloudy skies. Bottom line: Weather should not disrupt voting activity in Houston at all.

Wednesday

A cool front will move through Houston sometime tonight, and this will bring some drier air into the region, which will help cool down our nights and eventually make for some really fantastic weather. Highs on Wednesday should be in the mid-70s under mostly cloudy skies, with lows falling into the upper 50s for northern parts of the metro area, and the lower 60s for coastal regions.

Temperatures will be near normal for most of the week, but by Sunday they could fall 4 to 6 degrees below normal. (Weather Bell)

Thursday through Sunday

Well, it’s going to be a great end of the week. With drier air settling in, we should see partly to mostly sunny days, with highs in the low- to mid-70s for most of the metro area. The drier air means nighttime temperatures should fall into the mid- to upper-50s for most inland areas, and the upper 50s to 60 degrees along the coast. Some far inland areas might see lows in the 40 by Sunday or Monday morning, but I’m not totally confident about that.

In any case, Houston will feel like Houston should feel in early November, and it will feel great. It will be a great weekend for doing just about anything outdoors.

  1. Forecasting weather is similar to forecasting oil prices. As soon as the print-out is finished, all sorts of things happen that create “variances” to the forecasts. But certainly hoping for “real November” weather!
