HOUSTON, Texas (KTRK) — It’s another cool start, but we have some warm and beautiful weather on the way with high temperatures near 80 degrees today! This is just the first of several days that could be in the 80s this week for Spring Break.
Temperatures Tuesday morning will be in the upper 40s or low 50s and quickly climb after sunrise. It’s going to be another bright and sunny day with temperatures rising into the upper 70s or low 80s across the region. Winds will be light but could pick up slightly into the evening. Tuesday night will then feel a little more muggy and warmer than previous nights with the chance for light fog to develop across Hill Country early Wednesday morning.
Do we have any major weather changes coming during Spring Break?
Calm and clear weather kicks off Spring Break through Tuesday with more of an active end to the week. By Wednesday temperatures we’ll have a little more of a muggy morning with the chance for patchy fog to develop across Hill Country. And Wednesday is when our next weather system will move into Texas. A weak cold front will pass by Houston later in the day. Right now there’s a small chance for showers and storms Wednesday evening, and then Thursday morning could be slightly cooler with temperatures start in the upper 50s. There’s not much staying power with that cool front because by Thursday afternoon temperatures will soar into the upper 80s and be back there for Friday, both days with near record-tying warmth for the day.
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.
Speaking of spring, what’s the latest on pollen?
While these recent cold fronts have brought an uptick in Cedar pollen, the first few counts of Oak pollen have started to show up locally. Oak pollen counts more than quadrupled last weekend and will only go up from here. So if you haven’t already, now’s the time to begin to do what you need to do to take care of your seasonal allergies!
