HOUSTON, Texas (KTRK) — A fast-moving upper air disturbance will bring a wave of showers into our part of Texas Saturday afternoon and Saturday evening, but by Sunday we will begin a new streak of sunny days.
Sunshine will warm temperatures into the 70s this afternoon, but clouds will increase after sunrise as the disturbance approaches. The disturbance will be starved of moisture until it gets closer to the coast, so the highest rain chances will be south of I-10. Scattered showers will initially develop, and some of those will blossom into thunderstorms. The air aloft is incredibly cold, so wherever lightning does develop, there could also be some small hail falling down given that cold and unstable upper atmosphere. This rainy disturbance should clear out before sunrise Sunday, making for a sunny, dry, and pleasant second half to the weekend. Temperatures both days will feature lows in the 50s and highs in the 70s.
Is the time change still happening this weekend?
It sure is. On Saturday the sun will rise at 7:35 a.m. and set at 6:34 p.m. Then after the clocks fall back one hour early Sunday morning, the sun will rise at 6:36 a.m. and set at 5:33 p.m. Many of us will be driving home in the dark Monday!
What’s in store for next week?
The weather looks great! We’ll have a sunny sky, cool mornings, and mild afternoons through Election Day. Then moisture returns Wednesday and beyond to bring lows up into the 60s and highs into the 80s for the rest of the week, but overall it should still feel pretty nice.
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.
