HOUSTON, Texas (KTRK) — You’ll finally feel the impact of Sunday morning’s cool front by Monday morning with low temperatures in the 50s.
We’ve got another mostly sunny day on tap for Monday with high temperatures climbing into the 90s. This could be our 15th 90-degree October day! Winds will shift more from the south by Monday afternoon and evening, allowing for an increase in humidity on Tuesday.
What about our next rain chance?
As quickly as this weekend’s weather system is in and out, we’ll likely see another fast-paced system midweek. Another weak cool front will be on our doorstep Tuesday evening and pass through into Wednesday. This one doesn’t look to be a major rain or storm maker for Southeast Texas, but we’re not ruling out a few showers and isolated storms to move into the region with the front. Looking down the line even further, looks like a more active storm system could impact Southeast Texas heading into the weekend that has more promising rain and even storm chances too.
How about a cool front that brings colder weather that lasts?!
Well, the extended forecast hints at a stronger cool front moving through the last week of October before Halloween. Timing is still to be determined, but several computer models bring in what we would call a “season changer” of a cool front that will usher in much colder air from the northern part of the country. Initially, this could mean morning lows in the low 50s and afternoon highs in the mid-upper 70s, which is more typical for the end of October.
What is happening in the tropics?
A tropical wave over the central Atlantic now has a high chance of developing once it reaches the southern Caribbean. At this time, this tropical wave does not pose a threat to the gulf or Texas Coast. We are also monitoring a developing Pacific disturbance near Mexico that could send moisture into Texas later this month.
