Houstonians can expect a warm and muggy start to Sunday, but relief is on the way as the first of several cold fronts pushes through, bringing slightly cooler temperatures by the evening, according to our news partner ABC13.
Foggy Start with Isolated Showers Ahead of First Cold Front
Sea fog is expected to linger along the coast and in Galveston Bay throughout much of Sunday before a weak cool front helps clear out some of the humidity. Despite the front’s arrival, temperatures will still climb into the low 80s in Houston, making for a warm but cloudier day. Isolated showers may develop as the front moves through, adding to the unsettled conditions.
How Long Will the Cooler Weather Last?
This initial cooldown will be brief. Monday morning will start in the upper 50s before temperatures rebound to near 70 degrees in the afternoon. However, a stronger cold front is expected by midweek, bringing a more noticeable temperature drop along with scattered showers and thunderstorms. By the second half of the week, seasonal temperatures will settle in, with lows dipping into the 40s and highs reaching the 60s.
Another Cold Front on the Horizon
Looking ahead to next weekend, forecasters are monitoring yet another cold front that could bring even colder temperatures. Early projections suggest low temperatures could dip into the 30s, but it’s still too soon to confirm the details.
Massive Caribbean Earthquake No Threat to Gulf Coast
In other weather news, a powerful 7.6-magnitude earthquake struck the western Caribbean Sea north of Honduras on Saturday evening. While a Tsunami Advisory was briefly issued for Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands, it was later lifted after no significant waves were reported. The earthquake is among the strongest on record for the Caribbean, but it poses no threat to the U.S. or the Gulf Coast.
As Houston navigates this active weather pattern, residents should stay prepared for changing temperatures and possible storm activity in the coming days.
