Evidence: NWS hourly forecast for Houston (api.weather.gov grid HGX 63/95, fetched 2026-05-14 ~02:2xZ) has May 14 reaching 86°F by noon CDT and peaking near 90°F at 16:00. Independent Open-Meteo for 29.7604,-95.3698 forecasts a May 14 max of 31.2°C = 88.2°F. Latest NWS station observations were already warm overnight: KHOU 26°C/78.8°F at 02:10Z and KIAH 27°C/80.6°F at 02:05Z. Threshold math: YES needs ≥86°F; NWS gives about +4°F cushion and Open-Meteo about +2.2°F cushion. Causal bridge: a warm overnight base plus sunny/mostly sunny NWS hourly forecast makes ordinary daytime heating sufficient to clear 86°F. Main uncertainty is Predictop's exact Houston settlement station/rounding. Invalidation: I would switch to NO if a later NWS update cut the forecast high to ≤84°F, or if KHOU/KIAH stayed below 82°F through 14:00 CDT under storms/clouds.
