HOUSTON, Texas (KTRK) — A few summertime showers and storms close out the last weekend of summer.
It’s a muggy morning on Sunday with a few storms developing early along the coast. Isolated showers and storms then could develop in the afternoon and evening Sunday across the region, though the best chance for rain on Sunday will favor our coastal communities. Besides that it’ll be a warm afternoon, fitting for the last day of summer with highs in the low 90s.
What’s the latest on next week’s “cool” front?
Don’t get your hopes too high with this one. The timing is still a little iffy, and assuming it does arrive as expected, it’s more of a humidity drop than a temperature drop. For now we have a the front arriving on Wednesday and deliver a brief dose of slightly drier and slightly cooler air through Saturday morning. The timing of the front’s arrival can still shift, but eventually we expect that slight temperature and humidity drop to arrive. As for temperature, we might get a few mornings in the 60s and a couple afternoons in the 80s out of this one.
When does fall begin?
The autumnal equinox is on Monday, September 22, marking the end of astronomical summer and the beginning of astronomical fall. Meteorological Fall began on September 1st. The fall “feeling” of cooler air still isn’t anywhere in sight.
