Houston Weather: Chilly mornings early on this week will be replaced with near record warmth Friday

HOUSTON, Texas (KTRK) — Hopefully you picked up a little rain Saturday as we’re about to enter another dry spell this week. That said, it’s a great stretch this week with sunny days and temperatures gradually warming up by week’s end.

The sun is setting an hour early tonight which means it’s going to also feel a little cooler out faster this evening. Temperatures will fall from the upper 60s int the upper 40s by Monday morning. It’s a clear and chilly start to the day tomorrow with lots of sun throughout the day and high temperatures rebounding into the mid 70s.

What’s in store for this week?

The weather looks great! We’ll have a sunny sky, cool mornings, and mild afternoons through Election Day. Then moisture returns Wednesday and beyond to bring lows up into the 60s and highs into the 80s for the rest of the week, but overall it should still feel pretty nice. Friday could be especially warm with high temperatures climbing into the mid-upper 80s, possibly near the daily record of 89 degrees too.

Any more rain on the horizon?

After a couple of active days this past week with showers and stronger storms rolling through, it looks like we’re about to enter another warm and dry spell for the first full week of November. A pattern change could bring a few passing showers and storms next weekend, but it’s not a slam dunk at this point. That said, drought conditions could continue to be an issue throughout the month of November.
