Houston could hit 90-degrees a month ahead of schedule

HOUSTON, Texas (KTRK) — May’s weather is about to make an early appearance in late March. High temperatures will push close to 90-degrees Wednesday through Friday this week.

Tuesday will start in record warm territory with lows only in the low 70s. Houston’s record for the warmest low temp on March 24 is 70 set back in 2009. A strong southwesterly breeze will develop during the afternoon, pushing away the cloud and popping the temperatures into the mid 80s.

With the atmosphere drying out even more Tuesday night, temperatures will dip into the low 60s Wednesday morning. With an abundance of sunshine and light winds during the day afternoon, temperatures will soar up to 90. If we do hit 90 degrees it will be about one month ahead of schedule.

Another Pacific cool front is scheduled to arrive Saturday, which should bring lower humidity and pleasant temperatures. A line of thunderstorms could blow in along the front Saturday, but the rest of the weekend looks dry.

The rain we saw this past weekend has significantly knocked oak pollen counts down. Last week the counts were above 2500. Monday afternoon they came in at just 277.
