HOUSTON, Texas (KTRK) — It’s a beautiful day in the neighborhood! Temperatures this afternoon peak in the low 70s with a few wispy cirrus clouds blowing overhead from time to time.
We’ll enjoy more nice weather on Friday with lows in the upper 50s and highs in the low 80s. There is also a 20% chance of rain.
How does the opening weekend of Spring Break look?
We’ve got another weather change arriving Saturday as a cold front blows in during the late afternoon and early evening. This front brings a 40% chance of showers and thunderstorms. Temperatures on Saturday warm from the mid 60s to the upper 70s, then cool off into the 40s Sunday morning. Sunday looks dry but still cloudy. It will also be breezy with highs in the mid 60s.
Are we still doing this time change thing?
Like it or not, Daylight Saving Time starts this weekend. The clocks will “spring” an hour forward early Sunday morning, meaning the sun will rise and set an hour later than it does on Saturday. Saturday’s sunrise and sunset times are at 6:39 a.m. and 6:25 p.m. Sunday’s sunrise and sunset times are at 7:37 a.m. and 7:26 p.m.
Do we have any major weather changes coming during Spring Break?
Once the front clears on Saturday, we get a really nice stretch of weather for most of Spring Break! Expect lots of sunshine and pleasant temperatures on most days. By next Friday we could see another powerful storm system swing through the southern Plains to bring us a chance for thunderstorms.
Are we done with freezes now?
It sure looks that way! On average, Houston’s last night in the 30s occurs around mid March. If we see any signs of a light freeze or frost on the horizon, we’ll be sure to let you know! Otherwise, it’s generally considered safe to put plants into the ground if you haven’t done so already..
