Spring break forecast brings 2 cool fronts in next week

HOUSTON, Texas (KTRK) — More of the same warm, humid, and breezy weather for Saturday. We’re stuck in a holding pattern with similar weather (not that that’s a bad thing!) until Sunday afternoon when our next cold front arrives.
How long will the warmer weather last?
High temperatures will rise above the normal temp of 72 through Tuesday. The next cold front will arrive on Sunday, most likely late in the day. The second front will arrive Wednesday. It will significantly drop our temps but we’re not expecting cold weather.

What else are we expecting this weekend?
After a warm, humid, and breezy Saturday, rain chances will climb ahead of our next cold front Sunday. The front will bring back scattered showers and thunderstorms to Southeast Texas. Most of it will be just rain but some thunder is possible during the afternoon.

Can you tell me more about the second cold front?
The second cold front arrives on Wednesday (Saint Patrick’s Day) and will bring a chance for storms as well as a drop in temps. The air behind this front will be cooler than what we’ll see after our first front, knocking down high temperatures in to the 60s and lows in the 40s.

Are we done with freezes?

We are more than likely done with freezes this season, but there is a slim chance a light freeze or frost could sneak in here toward the end of Spring Break. There are currently no freezes in our 10-day forecast, but we will be paying careful attention to the air coming in behind a second cold front arriving next week during Spring Break. This air will be coming from northern Canada, and with fresh snowpack on the ground from Colorado through the Central Plains, the air will stay refrigerated on its way to Texas. History says we’re probably done, but again a freeze is still possible. You have to go back to the 1990s to find a freeze in mid-March or later. During the great February arctic outbreaks in the late 1800s, there were no more freezes beyond the first week of March, so if history repeats itself after this February’s winter storm, we are done with freezes until after the summer.
