FIRST: WARM + DRY TODAY
We’re looking at mostly sunny skies with temperatures climbing into the low-to-mid 80s today.
The Houston-Galveston area is also under an Air Quality Alert through this evening because conditions may allow ozone levels to become unhealthy for sensitive groups.
If you have asthma or respiratory sensitivities, it may be worth taking it a little easier outdoors this afternoon.

There’s actually a lot happening close to home this weekend - Halloween events, pet adoption, recycling, theater, Oktoberfest and outdoor movies.
So before heading across Houston looking for something to do, check what’s happening right here around Kingwood first.
Sometimes the best weekend plans are already in our own backyard.
