HOUSTON, Texas (KTRK) — It may not feel like it yet, but a warming trend has begun in Southeast Texas. Just as it feels like summer is returning, a stronger cold front will blow in this weekend to bring our coldest-feeling air so far this season.
Wednesday morning will not be as chilly as previous mornings. Instead of widespread lows in the 40s, we’ll have widespread lows in the 50s, closer to the seasonal average of 55. Patchy fog is also possible on the morning drive. We’ll still enjoy abundant sunshine on Wednesday, allowing temperatures to warm into the low 80s across just about all of Southeast Texas.
What’s in store for the rest of the work week?
After Wednesday, we’ll have more mild, foggy mornings with lows in the 60s and warm, humid afternoons with highs in the 80s. Friday could be especially warm with high temperatures climbing into the upper 80s, approaching the daily record of 89 degrees observed just last year on November 7. Saturday will be similarly warm, and then our cold front arrives.
When does our next cold front arrive?
Our next front gets here around sunrise Sunday morning, and it now looks a little stronger. The core of the cold will still miss us to the east, but we will get brushed by this winter-like air descending into the eastern third of the nation. That means we’ll have lows in the 40s and highs in the 60s and 70s for a couple of days next week.
What does the weather forecast look like for Veterans Day?
It looks amazing! Temperatures will be a little chilly in the morning with lows in the 40s, but sunshine should warm those temperatures toward 70 in the afternoon. The sky will be filled with sunshine, and we have no rain in the forecast at this time.
Any more rain on the horizon?
Not really. We are out of the main storm track over the next 7 to 10 days, so the best we can muster right now is a 10% chance of rain when the front arrives over the weekend. And even that might be generous. Therefore, more drought-building conditions are expected for the first half of November.
What is happening in the tropics?
There are no tropical developments expected in the Atlantic Basin over the next 7 days. For a thorough update and in-depth video on what’s happening in the tropics, head to our tropical update page.
