HOUSTON, Texas (KTRK) — We’ve got two chilly mornings on tap this week before warmer, spring-like temperatures return once again.
Temperatures Monday morning will fall into the upper 30s or low 40s across Southeast Texas. Closer to College Station lows could even be in the mid 30s, possibly allowing for areas of patchy frost to form. Widespread frost is not expected at this time for most of Houston and Southeast Texas Monday morning, but it will be quite chilly so make sure you have a jacket for the morning rush. Afternoon highs will climb back into the low-mid 60s under a bright sunny sky. The breeze will also be lighter Monday, out of the north, at about 10-15 mph. It’s then Monday night into Tuesday morning when areas of frost could develop across the region with a lighter breeze, clear sky and morning lows dropping into the mid-upper 30s.
Besides the cold weather this week, any more potential forty mornings in sight?
Tuesday morning is the best chance we have for frost as it’s both the coldest morning in our 10 Day forecast. You might want to cover any cold sensitive plants or take them inside Monday night as a precaution, especially north of Houston. Otherwise, the forecast is looking warm heading into March.
With it feeling more like spring, any signs of oak pollen yet?
Nope, not yet! Tree pollen has been a bit high this week with counts of Cedar, Birch and Elm. Mold spore counts have also increased this past week because of the humidity, but those counts should go down early next week.
Any more strong cold fronts on the way?
We are monitoring another cold front that could swing through Southeast Texas Thursday evening. This front looks to be significantly weaker though with not much rain or even a temperature drop behind the front. Long range models also hint at another front within the first week of March that could bring both rain and cooler temperatures but it’s still way too early to promise either.
