HOUSTON, Texas (KTRK) — With our Tuesday morning frost out of the way, now it’s nothing but spring-time temps for the rest of the week.
Instead of lows in the 30s, it’ll only dip into the upper 50s and low 60s Wednesday morning, and it’ll be even windier than it was on Tuesday. Winds at time will gust over 35 mph. That warm wind will push highs into the low 80s. Wind Advisory for several Southeast counties from 9 am to 6 pm Wednesday.
Then on Thursday, Houston’s high temperature will challenge the record of 86 set in 1986.
Are we expecting any more frosty mornings this winter season?
Not at this time. Tuesday morning was probably our last frost/freeze threat of the season. While we can’t 100% rule out another run at frosty weather later in March or even April, odds favor those who want to start tending to their garden beds.
With it feeling more like spring, any signs of oak pollen yet?
Yes! Both pollen counts so far this week in Houston detected high levels of oak pollen, so the oak trees are waking up. The “oak explosion” of pollen usually peaks during the third week of March.
Any more strong cold fronts on the way?
Nope, at least not over the next 10 days. We are monitoring another front that will swing through Southeast Texas Thursday afternoon and evening. This front looks to be significantly weaker with only a modest temperature drop behind it. The weather pattern developing in early March also favors warmer air to win out over any cold fronts.
