HOUSTON, Texas (KTRK) — Our weather is starting to calm down, and that means we’re in for some colder weather Friday morning.
As high pressure slides over us, temperatures will cool into the low 40s for Houston and as cold as the mid 30s outside of town, especially north and east of Houston. These readings are cold enough to put a little frost on the ground outside of Houston.
Abundant sunshine will warm temperatures into the mid 70s during the afternoon. It’ll be a beautiful day, but there will still be an elevated fire danger due to the dry air. Oak pollen levels may also remain at extreme levels. The City of Houston pollen sample from Thursday morning was a record for the month of March with an oak count of nearly 8,000.
Is there any hope for rain over the next 10 days?
Our next chance for rain now looks to occur from Sunday afternoon through Monday morning with the approach of a weak cool front. The storm system pushing this front looks to be trending farther away from us, so our rain chances have come down in the 30% to 40% range. Due to the unstable atmosphere, we’ll still need to be on guard for an isolated severe thunderstorm, especially north of Houston.
Are we warming back into the 90s anytime soon?
We currently have no 90 degrees in our forecast, but there are plenty of mid 80s highs predicted over the next 10 days. Spring weather is here, and we usually start hitting 90 on a regular basis in May.
