HOUSTON, Texas (KTRK) — Welcome to Fall, y’all!
Fall officially begins at 1:19 p.m. Monday, but it will still feel like summer. Monday looks slightly drier than what Southeast Texas experienced Sunday, but a few showers and storms can’t be ruled out with this summery airmass overhead. Best chance for rain Monday will be south of I-10 and along the coast. Otherwise, look for a partly cloudy and warm day with afternoon highs climbing into the low 90s.
What’s the latest on this incoming “cool” front?
Good news is that it’s looking more and more likely that a cool front will move through Southeast Texas later this week. As for a temperature drop, don’t get your hopes up. This time around, this front will first provide the chance for showers and storms Wednesday evening and night, few of which could be on the stronger side with gusty winds and heavy rainfall. Then as the front slowly pushes offshore, a few showers could linger for Thursday morning. By Thursday afternoon you may start to feel the second impact of this front, which is lower humidity. Friday through Sunday then we get to experience drier, sunnier days with lower humidity and season temperatures… which means morning lows in the upper 60s and afternoon highs in the upper 80s.
When does fall begin?
The autumnal equinox is on Monday, September 22, at 1:19 p.m. marking the end of astronomical summer and the beginning of astronomical fall. Meteorological Fall began on September 1st.
