HOUSTON, Texas (KTRK) — A cool front that pushed through early this morning is leaving us with wonderful weather in its wake. It will be a bit breezy in the morning, which could kick up the already elevated pollen levels even higher.
Oak pollen levels are expected to remain extremely high until we can get some rain to help wash it away.
What should we expect with the cool front this weekend?
The front will cool off temperatures to near normal for Saturday and Sunday. At this time of year, average highs are in the mid 70s and average lows are in the mid 50s. More than that, we’ll get a big drop in the humidity for all of the weekend. While we could be dealing with some off and on cloud cover Saturday, we should get ample sunshine on Sunday.
When can we expect more rain?
Not this weekend, however things do look more promising in the first week of April as storm systems start tracking across the country again. Right now it looks like our best chances for rain come in the “Wednesday night to Thursday” timeframe, then again sometime between Easter Sunday and the following Monday.
Can you tell me more about Easter weekend?
We expect a front to push toward Houston sometime around Easter Sunday, so we will be on the watch for a line of showers or thunderstorms to blow in at some point, though it’s a bit early to try to pinpoint the exact rain timing. Otherwise it will be a warm and humid Easter weekend.
Are we expecting any more frosty mornings or light freezes before summer?
Nope. It looks like we are done with that risk until next fall.
When can we expect more rain?
The best we can offer up this week is a 10% chance on Saturday morning with the cool front. However things do look more promising in the first week of April as storm systems start tracking across the country again.
What’s the early outlook for Easter weekend?
We expect a front to push toward Houston sometime around Easter Sunday, so we will be on the watch for a line of showers or thunderstorms to blow in at some point. Otherwise it will be a warm and humid Easter weekend.
Are we expecting any more frosty mornings or light freezes before summer?
Nope. It looks like we are done with that risk until next fall.
