HOUSTON, Texas (KTRK) — We’ve got one more cold winter morning before it suddenly feels like spring again in Houston.
The clear sky, light winds, and dry air will make for a cold sunrise Tuesday with morning lows dropping into the low-to-mid 30s for most. You may want to cover and cold sensitive plants or bring them in until it passes.
Once the sun rises, temperatures will rapidly climb, and we’ll spend most of the afternoon in the 70s with a mostly sunny sky. Winds will also pickup into the evening, gusting upwards of 25 mph. It’ll be even windier for Wednesday!
Besides the cold weather this week, any more potential frosty mornings in sight?
Not at this time. This very well could be 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! Monday’s pollen count in Houston detected high levels of oak pollen, so the oak trees are slowly waking up.
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.
