HOUSTON, Texas (KTRK) — Get ready Southeast Texas, we’ve got a great stretch of weather this week!

Temperatures Monday morning will fall into the upper 60s to low 70s and you’ll likely begin to feel the drop in humidity too, especially by Monday afternoon. It’s nothing but sunshine for Monday as well with highs only rising into the upper 80s thanks to the less humid, northeasterly breeze that takes over.

A front?! Will this bring us cooler weather

Yes! And that hasn’t happened since May. Right now we’re forecasting morning lows in the upper 60s for Tuesday and Wednesday morning. The bigger impact from this weekend front will be the drier, less humid air. You’ll notice a difference in the afternoon with temperatures climb int the low 90s and it doesn’t feel as oppressively hot and heavy outside.

So will these drier days stick around through the weekend?

At this time, the weekend will feel like summer once again with humid morning and hot afternoons with highs in the mid 90s. That said, we can’t rule out a spot shower or storm if an afternoon sea breeze develops. Generally though, rain chances for the weekend look to be about 10-20%.

What is happening in the tropics?

There is no tropical development in the Atlantic Basin expect over the next 7 days, which is incredible considering it is the peak of hurricane season. However, there are signs that things could take an active turn alter this month. For a thorough update and in-depth video on what’s happening in the tropics, head to our tropical update page.
