Rain chances will be on the rise today through Saturday/Halloween, but we're still expecting rain chances to decrease going into the evening hours of Halloween for trick-or-treating. We dry out Sunday/Monday, then our attention turns to an approaching cold front. #TXwx #HOUwx

Walking after dark? 🚶🌙 Take a little extra care to keep yourself safe.
Wearing reflective clothing or carrying a flashlight can help drivers spot you on the road. Stay alert and stay visible!

Slow your roll, folks! Speeding can leave you with less time to react to what’s ahead. Slow down and give yourself enough time to respond when traffic or road conditions change.

During this last week of Pedestrian Safety Month, save and share this quick guide to stay SAFE.🚶➡️🚘
ALT This image is a safety poster divided into two sections. The top section, titled "Pedestrian Safety," advises using a crosswalk, following road rules, finding a well-lit area if no crosswalk is available, and watching for cars in driveways and parking lots. The bottom section, titled "Driver Awareness," suggests watching for pedestrians, yielding to them, and slowing down, especially in poor visibility conditions. Various icons accompany each tip, such as a crosswalk, a yield sign, and a slow down sign.
