HOUSTON, Texas (KTRK) — Rounds of showers and storms continue through Tuesday until a cold front swings through on Election Day.
After a stormy Saturday, we’re dealing with scattered showers and isolated storms Sunday as well.
What are the chances for rain today?
Rain chances stay relatively high, with a 60% chance on Sunday. The coverage and intensity should be slightly lower than yesterday, but it’s still a day to keep an umbrella on hand. You’ll notice a strong, humid breeze with high temperatures in the mid 80s. Temperatures at this time of year average in the mid 50s for lows and upper 70s for highs, but we’ll be above those numbers throughout the 10-day forecast.
What will the weather be like on Election Day?
We are expecting the next cool front to blow into Southeast Texas on Election Day, and this looks to be another stormy front. We have moderate confidence that the front will blow through during the morning hours along with all it’s rain. Temperatures will basically hover in the 70s all day under a mostly cloudy and at times rainy sky.
When can we expect temperatures to really cool off again?
The Election Day cool front is Pacific in nature, so it won’t cool us off more than 10 degrees. It will also stall out nearby for most of next week. By the end of next week, we could get another push of cooler and drier air to send temperatures into more seasonal territory with lows in the upper 50s and highs in the 70s.
What are you tracking in the tropics?
There is a region in the southwestern Caribbean that has 90% development odds over the next 7 days. Eventually this tropical disturbance could find its way into the Gulf of Mexico, but it would most likely stay away from Texas. No hurricane on record has ever made landfall in Texas during the month of November. Head to our daily Tropical Updatepage for a complete look at what we’re covering in the tropics.
