Houston starts the weekend with a slight chance of Friday storms, but the overall activity is rated as great as clear skies return for Saturday and Sunday. Highs will hover in the low 70s to low 80s, providing a solid backdrop for a schedule full of collegiate sports and theatrical performances.
Temperatures vary between overnight lows of 57 and daytime highs reaching 83 degrees. While Friday carries a slight chance of storms, the best time to be outside is early Saturday morning, which features the weekend's coolest low of 57.
