HOUSTON - There's not much need to worry about dodging raindrops this weekend, but you should be cautious of potential brushfires.

Another hot one for Friday

It will feel more like August than October with plenty of sunshine and afternoon heat running well above normal.

Light winds mean air quality may dip into the unhealthy range for sensitive groups (as it has for the last several days).

Otherwise, look for rain chances limited to a stray shower or two during the afternoon.

Dry conditions leading to minor drought

After a rainy summer, the month of September brought a dry spell to many areas locally and that has continued into October.

Dry vegetation is leading to an increased risk for brushfires, so be very cautious of any outdoor burning until conditions change.
