Houston weather: Quiet Monday with partly cloudy skies

Welcome back at 6:14, and I want to start out with a look at our exclusive Fox Weather model. Now, today, everything looks fine. If there was a stray, isolated sprinkle, it would be down to the south, into Matagorda or Jackson County. As we look ahead in time, notice West Texas getting in on some rounds of thunderstorms, some heavy ones possible out there at times. Here's a look at tomorrow. You're going to see a quick-moving little area of showers possible, so we do include a 20% rain chance for you tomorrow. and then that'll hang around through Wednesday as well. But at the end here, I want to just pull back here and show you what's happening out in northern Mexico, and that is that we're going to get this streak of moisture coming in partially from the remnants of Tropical Storm Vance, and that'll be helped along by disturbance in the jet stream and upper-level trough. So that'll move across the area, most likely coming up on Friday, could hang around through Saturday. So it's that Friday and then Halloween time frame when we actually have our best chance for rain. Hopefully it'll move out. in time for trick or treating but it is still looking rainy during that general time frame right now we're in the low and middle 60s in Houston but some really brisk low 50s to the north again a lot of this has been caused by the fact that we've had more cloud cover to the south less cloud cover to the north this has happened a lot recently over the last several days around the Gulf Coast 65 in New Orleans right now 60 in Lake Charles about 63, Palacios and 70 with a few stray showers down around parts of deep South Texas and into the Rio Grande Valley this is a look at thunderstorm chances today and also severe chances today no severe weather is expected but the largest area of some potential thunderstorms is out into parts of West Texas and tomorrow that creeps this way just a little bit closer to us so parts of our area could have a couple of isolated thunderstorms tomorrow but i think primarily it's just going to be showers all right when we take a look at the upper level winds. You'll see that dip in the jet stream right there. That's what's pulling moisture in our direction through the day today. And it'll be partially what helps to pull some of the moisture from that tropical system into our area coming up Friday and Saturday. So looking good this morning and a pretty quiet day, kind of a mix of sun and clouds, high temperatures topping out right around 83, maybe 84. Tomorrow, low 80s with a slight chance for a few showers. A similar day coming up Wednesday, Thursday, slightly better rain chance heading into Friday and Halloween Saturday.
