HOUSTON, Texas (KTRK) — Our very anticipated cold front is still in the forecast for Wednesday morning but summer temps won’t be leaving quietly! We are expecting another record breaking day on Tuesday with highs climbing into the upper 90s!
The front should move in early Wednesday morning bringing much more seasonable temperatures to SE Texas. Morning lows Wednesday will start in the upper 50s or low 60s with afternoon highs in the mid-upper 70s.
When are we going to break this streak of 90 degree high temperatures?
Temperatures will climb into the mid-to-upper 90s again Tuesday, likely breaking another record high temperature. Then we get a rush of cooler air dropping in here Wednesday morning, which will bring high temperatures down into the upper 70s through Thursday! The last time Houston recorded a high in the 70s was on a rainy day in late July.
How cold will it get behind this front, and how long does it stick around?
Highs will only reach into the mid-to-upper 70s both Wednesday and Thursday, and it will dip as cold as the mid-to-upper 40s on Thursday morning. That’s 50 degrees colder than Monday’s high of 99! The cooler air fades away on Friday as the Gulf breeze returns, but we do not have temperatures returning to 90 for the rest of our 10 day forecast.
When could we see our next chance of rain?
Rain chances look slim to none over the next 10 days, but there is a small 10% chance of showers on Friday and through the weekend.
What are you tracking in the tropics?
A new area in the western Caribbean is one to watch for over the next 7 days. The region near Cancun has a low chance of developing at this moment and should stay far away from the Texas Coast. There’s another area of potential development in the open Atlantic with 60% development odds as it approaches the Bahamas.
