HOUSTON, Texas (KTRK) — Our next weather change arrives Wednesday morning as a Pacific cool front blasts in some ultra-dry air from the northwest. The combination of low humidity and gusty winds will increase the risk of wildfires spreading across Texas.
There is a 20% chance of showers ahead of the cool front, but even if you do get rain it will likely be just a few hundredths of an inch.
The sun will be out in full force during the afternoon hours, warming the dry air into the low 80s. The winds will settle down in the evening allowing temperatures to fall into the upper 40s by sunrise Thursday.
It’s been pretty dry lately. Is there any hope for rain over the next 10 days?
Our next chance for rain is late Sunday, when the odds increase to 40%. The air will be unstable, and isolated severe thunderstorms with large hail and gusty winds are possible.
Are we warming back into the 90s anytime soon?
We currently have no 90 degrees in our forecast, but there are plenty of mid 80s highs predicted over the next 10 days. Spring weather is here, and we usually start hitting 90 on a regular basis in May.
