HOUSTON, Texas (KTRK) — A few isolated, light coastal showers are possible through the early morning today, but the main rain-maker has pushed well off the coast. Expect a cooler and drier day with morning lows starting in the mid 60s and afternoon highs warming into the low 80s, with more clouds in the morning and more sunshine in the afternoon. All in all, a perfectly pleasant Sunday, enjoy!
Any update on local storm damage from Saturday?
So far the National Weather Service has confirmed one EF-0 tornado that tracked through Grimes and Navasota counties early Saturday morning. The tornado had estimated peak winds of 79 mph and a path length of about 9 miles. A few homes and structures near Anderson and Richards retained minor damage.
When will we get a stronger cold front to make it finally feel like fall?!
Our confidence is growing that a stronger cool front will arrive Tuesday of next week and last through Halloween into the first weekend of November. This one will feel more like a “season changer” as it ushers in much colder air than we’ve experienced all fall. At this time we are looking at lows in the 50s and highs in the 70s, which is more typical for the end of October and the first week of November. There is a chance lows could dip into the 40s on one or two mornings next week, with that most likely to occur on the morning of Halloween.
What’s the early outlook for trick-or-treat time on Halloween?!
It looks nearly ideal at this time with temperatures falling from the 70s into the 60s during the evening under a mostly clear sky. Let’s hope this treat of a forecast continues to hold!
