HOUSTON, Texas (KTRK) — Spring is about to make its presence felt all over Texas with an early taste of summer possible over the weekend.
We have one more cooler-than-average morning ahead before we launch into above-normal territory for the majority of what’s left in March. Temperatures Thursday morning will be in the upper 40s and low 50s, then the sunny sky will quickly warm temperatures into the 70s by noon. Highs will top out in the low 80s with a dry southwesterly breeze. Friday will bring similar weather, but it will be a few degrees warmer in the morning and the afternoon.
What’s in store for the weekend?
Our atmosphere will challenge record highs near 90 degrees. This is part of a larger early-season heatwave over the Desert Southwest that will torch those states with several days of triple digit heat, which is unprecedented in recorded history. The sinking air under this heat dome will keep our sky mainly sunny with zero chance of rain.
Are we expecting any more frosty mornings or light freezes before summer?
It will be very difficult to get temperatures down into frost territory again on this side of summer, but it cannot be 100% ruled out for the end of March and early April.
