HOUSTON, Texas (KTRK) — Election Day brings more amazing weather to Southeast Texas.
If you’ll be heading to the voting booth when the polls open at 7 a.m. you’ll likely need a jacket with temperatures in the upper 40s for most. After the chilly start, our bright sunny sky will push temps into the upper 70s and low 80s for highs..
What’s in store for the rest of the work week?
The weather looks great! After Election Day, the Gulf breeze brings back moisture Wednesday and beyond to bring lows up into the 60s and highs into the 80s for the rest of the week. Overall it should still feel pretty nice. Friday could be especially warm with high temperatures climbing into the upper 80s, approaching the daily record of 89 degrees observed just last year on November 7.
When does our next cold front arrive?
Our next front gets here early Sunday morning, but it doesn’t look particularly strong for us. Saturday will be similar in its warmth when compared to Friday, but we’ll cool off nicely behind the front arriving early Sunday. That will set the stage for seasonally cool weather on Veterans Day with lows in the 50s and highs in the 70s under a sunny sky.
Any more rain on the horizon?
No. We are out of the main storm track over the next 7 to 10 days, so the best we can muster right now is a 20% chance of rain when the front arrives over the weekend. And even that might be generous. Therefore, more drought-building conditions are expected for the first half of November.
What is happening in the tropics?
Now that Melissa has moved on, there are no tropical developments expected in the Atlantic Basin over the next 7 days. For a thorough update and in-depth video on what’s happening in the tropics, head to our tropical update page.
