HOUSTON, Texas (KTRK) — A cool front has arrived Saturday, but it’s stalled and will linger for one more day across Southeast Texas. This means scattered showers and storms are back in the forecast Sunday before drier conditions settle in Monday.
Storms will track from north to south across the region through the day. The best chance for seeing storms for Houston and Harris County looks to be from Noon to 3 p.m., then 3 p.m. to 6 p.m. for the coastline. And since these are scattered storms, keep in mind not everyone will get rain from these. However, there is the chance a few storms could be on the strong side, especially in the late afternoon, and produce gusty winds and heavy rainfall. There is the small chance one of these storms could lead to isolated street flooding Sunday.
Besides the storm threat for Sunday, it’ll be another warm and somewhat humid day with a partly cloudy sky and temperatures climbing into the upper 80s. If you missed out on the rain, temps will make it into the low 90s. And this one last push of rain moving towards the coast should allow for the drier, less humid air and conditions move in from the north for Monday.
A front?! Will this bring us cooler weather
Maybe. More so, the opportunity to see morning low temperatures below 70 degrees. And that hasn’t happened since May. Right now we’re forecasting morning lows in the upper 60s for Tuesday and Wednesday morning. The bigger impact from this weekend front will be the drier, less humid air. You’ll notice a difference in the afternoon with temperatures climb int the low 90s and it doesn’t feel as oppressively hot and heavy outside.
So will these drier days stick around for next weekend?
We know, the past few weekends have been a bit stormy here in Southeast Texas. At this time, next weekend will feel like summer once again with humid morning and hot afternoons with highs in the mid 90s. That said, we cant rule out a spot shower or storm if an afternoon sea breeze develops. generally though, rain chances for next weekend look to be about 10-20%, so much lower than recent weekends at this time.
