Humidity drop is on the way with next front

HOUSTON, Texas (KTRK) — We do have a lovely humidity drop on the way, but first we have to get through another muggy night with patchy dense fog.

Temperatures will bottom out in the upper 60s as the fog and low clouds form over Southeast Texas. Once the fog burns off, temperatures will climb back into the lower 80s. There is a 20% chance you’ll come across an isolated shower.

Our next front looks to move into Houston Tuesday night. It’s not a powerful front, but it will drop the humidity in a big way. You’ll notice a crisper feel to the air Wednesday morning with lows back near 60 for Veterans Day. Afternoon highs will still climb into the 80s.

The upper-level wind steering the front through Texas should also keep Tropical Storm Eta away from our part of the Gulf of Mexico, but it is possible that Eta could cause problems in the eastern half of the Gulf, especially for Florida.

Our next opportunity for rain will come Saturday as another front blows through Texas. This will also be a weaker Pacific front without much cold air behind it. At this time we have a 30% chance for showers in the forecast, and by early next week temperatures will be back near seasonal levels with highs in the 70s and lows in the 50s.
