HOUSTON, Texas (KTRK) — Houston’s first dip into the 30s since February is expected Tuesday morning. A light freeze and frost are possible in parts of Southeast Texas, especially outside the city of Houston.
While Veterans Day starts off chilly, abundant sunshine and the return of the Gulf breeze should warm those temperatures into the low 70s during the afternoon.
How long does the cold air stick around?
It’s basically gone after Veterans Day. Starting Wednesday, highs will be back in the 80s, and starting Wednesday night lows will bump back up into the 60s. Highs average in the 70s and lows in the 50s for this time of year.
Any more rain on the horizon?
Our next big weather system we’re monitoring could impact us over the weekend. The path of this “cut-off” low is uncertain at this time, and for now we only have low 20%-30% rain chances in the forecast for Saturday and Sunday. If the low tracks through the state, then we’ll have to raise our rain chances significantly. Beyond that weather system, another upper-level storm system looks to impact us toward the end of next week, and that one looks to bring a more promising rain chance. Given how warm and humid the air will be, it’s possible we could even have severe weather, but we’ve got plenty of time to sort out the details on that one.
What is happening in the tropics?
Tropical development is not 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.
