Houston, TX – Residents in Houston can look forward to a comfortable and sunny weekend, thanks to low humidity and mild morning temperatures. This weather provides a refreshing break from the usual late-September warmth and muggy conditions.
Weekend Forecast Highlights
Saturday and Sunday mornings are expected to see temperatures dip into the 60s, which is below the seasonal average of 71 degrees. Afternoon highs will climb into the upper 80s to lower 90s, but thanks to the low humidity, it should feel pleasant and enjoyable for outdoor activities.
Meteorologists describe the weekend weather as “Autumn amazing,” “Pumpkin perfect,” and “Fall fantastic.” With clear skies and mild conditions, it’s an ideal time for outdoor plans, weekend outings, or just relaxing in your backyard.
Tropical Outlook
While Houston is enjoying calm weather, the Atlantic remains active:
- Tropical Storm Humberto is currently less than 500 miles east-northeast of the Northern Leeward Islands, with sustained winds of 40 mph. It is expected to intensify into a major hurricane but currently poses no threat to land.
- A tropical wave across Puerto Rico, the Dominican Republic, the Bahamas, and the Turks and Caicos Islands has been classified as Potential Tropical Cyclone #9. Forecasts suggest it may strengthen into a tropical storm or hurricane, potentially affecting South Carolina, Georgia, and Florida with strong winds, heavy rain, and large swells.
- Post-tropical cyclone Gabrielle continues to move east toward Portugal, while other systems are forming in the Atlantic.
Importantly, there are no tropical systems expected to impact the Gulf Coast this weekend, leaving Houston residents free to enjoy the calm weather.
Extended Forecast
Morning temperatures are expected to remain in the upper 60s through Monday, providing comfortable conditions for early risers. Enjoy the low humidity, as forecasts indicate it will begin to rise next weekend, potentially making outdoor activities feel warmer and more uncomfortable.
Tips for Enjoying the Weekend Weather
- Plan outdoor activities early to take advantage of the cooler morning temperatures.
- Stay hydrated even in lower humidity, as the sun may still feel strong during peak hours.
- Monitor local weather updates in case of any sudden changes, especially with tropical systems developing in the Atlantic.
