Friday is starting cloudy with scattered rain in the Houston area. The forecast said showers are likely during the day, with a few storms possible late in the day or in the evening. Temperatures should stay below 80 degrees in most areas.

On Halloween, rain is expected to come and go through Saturday. The forecast calls for spotty afternoon storms and isolated showers around trick-or-treat time. Most models show rain tapering off in the evening, so many areas should be rain-free by then. The station advised checking for updates before heading out.

Storms are expected Tuesday, Election Day, as a cold front moves through. Sunset is just after 5:30 p.m., and the forecast said the chance of heavy storms is one more reason to vote early. Forecasters said cooler, drier air will follow the front, with brisk morning temperatures on Wednesday and Thursday.
