HOUSTON, Texas (KTRK) — It doesn’t get much better than this! These sunny and warm days that began over the weekend continue this week before our next cold front moves through Wednesday.
Monday will be a near-repeat of Sunday with plenty of sunshine and warm conditions. High temperatures Monday will quickly climb into the upper 70s and low 80s. Winds will turn breezy this afternoon gusting between 20 to 25 mph.
It’s been pretty dry lately. When’s our next chance for rain?
We’ve got our eyes on another cold front moving through Southeast Texas on Wednesday. Rain chances are slim once again with this front, only a 20% chance Wednesday evening. However, this front will drop temperatures for the first day of Spring on Thursday. Next best chance for rain after that is next Sunday. That means Southeast Texas is expected to only pickup about a quarter to half an inch of rain if that over the next 7 days.
So does that mean the risk for wildfires will continue?
Unfortunately, yes. And drought conditions could also get worse over the next two weeks with only a few small chances for rain over the next 10 days. Currently only Brazos County is under a burn ban, though unprescribed outdoor burns are not advised at this time.
Speaking of spring, what’s the latest on pollen?
Tree pollen remains in the high category for now. It’s the oak pollen that’s the problem if you’re sneezing right now.
