Houston weather: Dry, warm weather continues through the weekend

Overall, rain chances this weekend and early next week are on the low end.

Warming trend kicks in

Average highs for this time of the year are in the low 80s, but our actual afternoon temperatures will stay above average by about 5-7 degrees this weekend through at least Tuesday. Very low rain chances are expected.

Tax-free weekend

Take a few minutes to check out your hurricane kit. If you need some new items or need to restock, this weekend is your time to do so. It is tax-free storm prep weekend where you won’t be taxed on certain items that you need for your hurricane kit. It is a great way to get prepared for the upcoming hurricane season.
