HOUSTON, Texas (KTRK) — That fall feel is in the air! With a clear sky and dry air in place, temperatures Thursday morning in most of Houston will dip all the way down into the upper 40s.
This will be Houston’s first dip into the 40s since April 4!
The sky should be perfectly clear all day long, and that sunshine will warm temperatures quickly to near 70 by noon with highs peaking the mid-to-upper 70s. You might consider dressing in layers given the large spread in temperatures between the low and the high.
How long does this cold air stick around?
Enjoy it on Thursday because the cooler air fades away Friday as the Gulf breeze returns. That said we do not have temperatures returning to 90 for the rest of our 10 day forecast, but it will get close late next week.
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 Saturday, mainly southwest of Houston.
What are you tracking in the tropics?
There are two areas we’re watching in the tropics, one with a low chance of developing as it approaches the Bahamas or the Greater Antilles. Another is located in the southern Caribbean and has a low chance of developing over the next 7 days. Head to our daily Tropical Update page for a complete look at what we’re covering in the tropics.
