HOUSTON, Texas (KTRK) — It’ll be another cool and clear morning, but Wednesday morning won’t be as chilly as St. Patrick’s Day. Instead of a low near freezing, we’ll end up with a low in the mid 40s, which is still about 10 degrees below average.
An abundance of sunshine will warm the air quickly, and we’ll spend the afternoon in the 70s.
How much longer will the cold air stick around?
Not long at all. We’ll still have lows in the 50s Thursday and Friday mornings, but by Friday afternoon we’re challenging record highs near 90.
What’s in store for the weekend?
Our atmosphere will continue to challenge record highs near 90 degrees. This is part of a larger early-season heatwave over the Desert Southwest that will torch those states with several days of triple digit heat. The sinking air under this heat dome will keep our sky mainly sunny with zero chance of rain.
Are we expecting any more frosty mornings or light freezes before summer?
It will be very difficult to get temperatures down into frost territory again on this side of summer, but it cannot be 100% ruled out for the end of March and early April.
