Tue Oct 29 11:10:00 UTC 2024: ## Rain Expected to Dampen Halloween Fun in Houston

HOUSTON – After a prolonged dry spell, Houston residents are set to experience a significant shift in weather, with rain chances increasing just in time for early voting and Halloween. The National Weather Service has issued a Weather Impact Alert for Halloween, with a 70% chance of rain throughout the day.

Rain is expected to begin Wednesday morning as a surge of tropical moisture from the Gulf of Mexico moves into Southeast Texas. While a brief break is anticipated Wednesday night, rain is likely to return Thursday, potentially accompanied by thunderstorms. The exact duration of the rain remains uncertain, but scattered showers and storms are anticipated throughout the day.

While severe weather is not anticipated, the rain could dampen Halloween festivities and impact outdoor activities. Additionally, next Tuesday’s election day is also looking potentially wet and stormy, with the forecast to be refined closer to the weekend.

Residents are advised to be prepared for the change in weather and adjust their Halloween plans accordingly.
