HOUSTON, Texas (KTRK) — You’ll notice some changes to the way the sky looks and the air feels on Thursday, and by Friday you might even need to use your umbrella for the first time in October! These changes are occurring ahead of a Pacific cool front that rushes through Southeast Texas late Saturday night.
We’ll enjoy one more seasonal morning with low temperatures in the 60s to start our Thursday. Cloud cover will increase throughout the day as an upper-air disturbance glides overhead. There’s even a 10% chance you could get a brief, light rain shower. Southeasterly winds will also increase the humidity relative to the last few days. With the extra clouds and moisture, high temperatures should stay below 90 degrees.
Higher amounts of moisture arrive on Friday, and we’ve now boosted your chance for rain up to 30%.
What should we expect with this weekend front?
It looks like the front will blow through Southeast Texas late Saturday night and early Sunday morning, clearing the coast around sunrise. This front looks to be weak and fast-moving, so temperatures won’t be impacted as much as the humidity. The dry air flowing in behind the front could cook up Sunday’s high into the low 90s before we get a crisp Monday morning with lows near 60 in Houston.
Will that front bring us any rain?
Possibly, but it won’t be enough to turn the building drought around. This looks to be a Pacific cool front, which typically brings a thin band of showers and thunderstorms. Right now we have a 30% chance for rain Saturday night, and then it drops to zero percent after it clears the coast Sunday morning. Try not to get your hopes up too much for rainfall at this time.
