When will Houston’s fall weather cool off?

HOUSTON, Texas (KTRK) — We still don’t have that “fall-feeling” yet in Southeast Texas, but that should change later this week when the next cold front rolls through.

Temperatures will rise into the low 80s with an abundance of sunshine expected for Veterans Day. Another warm and dry day on tap for Tuesday with our next cool front moving in during the day Wednesday.

When can we expect temperatures to really cool off again?

We’ll get a taste of some more seasonal conditions Tuesday morning when temperatures fall into the upper 50s. Things really turn around though later this week when the next front rolls through. Our next cool front is penciled in for Wednesday night, but this is looking more and more like another Pacific front that drops the humidity for a day or two and doesn’t deliver much in the way of cooler air. We are now expecting one morning in the mid 50s and two afternoons in the 70s after the front arrives.

Any rain or thunderstorms expected with that front on Wednesday?

Right now there’s a 20% chance for showers Wednesday with this front. There’s the chance some deeper moisture form over the gulf could creep up towards the Southeast Texas coast, providing some moisture for this front to work with. This would also add a small rain chance Tuesday as well. Otherwise, this is a drier front that will more so influence temperatures alter this week. In all, rain chances are slim over the next 7 days.

What are you tracking in the tropics?

Rafael has weakened to a post-tropical system over the Gulf of Mexico. Some moisture from the system could approach the Gulf coast and possibly bring some light showers ahead of the next front midweek. Head to our daily Tropical Update page for a complete look at what we’re covering in the tropics.
