Houston's weather is perfect this weekend

• Go on a last-minute beach trip. Take a walk in your favorite park. Be outside.

Driving the news: A cold front will push through Southeast Texas this weekend, ushering in a few beautiful days of mild temperatures, clear skies and, most notably, low humidity.

What's happening: Saturday will likely be sunny with a high in the upper 80s after the front pushes clouds out Friday night, according to National Weather Service meteorologists.

• Humidity should drop from 80% at sunrise Saturday to about 50% by sundown, about where it will remain through Monday.

Yes, but: Humidity returns Tuesday with rain chances in tow.

• Actual temperatures will remain in the mid-80s through at least midweek, but a predicted 90% relative humidity by Wednesday is sure to oppress.

Context: While Houston didn't see too many days with triple-digit temperatures, the city still experienced intense and deadly heat this summer.

• Extreme heat is still threatening records in parts of the country, driven primarily by a changing climate.

Zoom in: A deadly heat wave in early July was exacerbated by Hurricane Beryl.

• The storm devastated Houston's already strained power grid and exposed CenterPoint Energy's lack of preparedness when it comes to the increasing intensity of tropical systems.

The bottom line: Enjoy this weekend's weather as much as you can, because it won't last long.
