Overview

• Houston has logged 11 October days at or above 90°F and highs will hold in the upper 80s to low 90s through the start of next week.
• Dry fuels and breezy afternoons keep fire danger elevated, with Harris County now joining Waller County under a burn ban that prohibits outdoor burning.
• Gulf moisture increases Friday, with the highest rain and thunderstorm chances arriving Saturday night into Sunday morning as a cold front moves through.
• Any showers may temporarily ease wildfire risk before drier, less humid air returns by Sunday afternoon.
• Tropics stay quiet after Tropical Storm Lorenzo dissipated, though the National Hurricane Center is watching a central Atlantic wave with a low 20% development chance over seven days.
