NEED TO KNOW

WARM + DRY TODAY, BUT HALLOWEEN RAIN IS POSSIBLE

Thursday looks good for getting outside around Kingwood.

The National Weather Service expects partly cloudy skies with inland highs around 81–84°F and light east-to-southeast winds.

The bigger weather story is Halloween.

Current forecasts show scattered showers and thunderstorms possible during the daytime Saturday, with rain chances around 40–50% in the Houston area. Rain chances are expected to decrease into the evening.

If BOOFEST or neighborhood trick-or-treating is on your Saturday calendar, keep an eye on the forecast as we get closer.

Several current local event guides identify today as the final regular Thursday market of the 2026 season before the schedule changes for winter, so it’s a good afternoon to stop by.
