Recent National Weather Service forecasts and model consensus point to a low around 72°F in Houston on October 7, driven by drier northeast flow under building high pressure after early-month rains. This setup favors partly cloudy skies overnight with light winds, limiting radiative cooling but preventing the warmer 80s°F readings that would require persistent cloud cover or stalled moisture. Historical October lows average near 66°F, yet the current pattern aligns more closely with recent mid-70s observations. Traders appear to weigh the strong forecast consensus for the 72-73°F bin against residual model spread on boundary-layer mixing and any late coastal trough influence that could nudge the minimum higher. Updated NHC and local guidance through Wednesday night will be key near-term catalysts.
