The warm-up weekend is coming
High pressure in the upper atmosphere will introduce a steady onshore flow of moist air from the southeast this weekend. That will mean warmer temperatures and, with more air humidity, higher dew points. While highs won’t be nearly as warm as the last weekend of October, which brought temperatures into the high 80s, it will still be noticeably warmer.
The weekend starts with temperatures early Saturday in the mid-50s in Houston. We won’t have a lack of sunshine any day this weekend, though a persistent high-level disturbance could lead to a missed shower south of Houston.
If you have plans to head along the coast or south toward Lake Jackson, the chance of rain will be less than 20 percent through Saturday evening. For much of Southeast Texas, mostly sunny skies will prevail Saturday as highs reach the upper 70s in Galveston and reach near 80 degrees in the Houston area.
Temperatures in the Houston metro area will likely reach 80 degrees Saturday afternoon.
