Cool front brings rain Sunday morning

HOUSTON, Texas (KTRK) — A cool front is moving through Texas, and it should reach Houston prior to sunrise on Sunday.

Once it collides with the muggy air overhead, widely scattered showers and thunderstorms will develop, especially between 3 a.m. and 9 a.m. Temperatures will hover in the low 70s ahead of the front then dip into the low 60s after the front arrives. While a few showers could linger into the afternoon, the air will be drying out and some sunshine should break through the clouds. High temperatures will peak in the lower and middle 70s.
Will there be any severe storms or flooding Sunday?
We do not anticipate any severe weather nor any flooding, but there could be some noisy rumbles of thunder when the front arrives.

How is the pollen looking?
Extreme. While oak pollen has been in the “high” category recently, it’s now exploded into the “extreme” category. Allergy sufferers may want to limit time outside. The rain Sunday could help wash some of our pollen problems away.

What is the outlook for Easter weekend?
Right now it looks great! A stronger cold front arriving Wednesday will bring some spectacular weather leading into Easter weekend. Good Friday should come with an abundance of sunshine, a chilly morning in the 40s, and a mild, sunny afternoon in the 70s. The Gulf breeze returns for the weekend, bringing back cloud and mild temps. We currently have a 20% chance for brief showers on Easter Sunday.

Are we done with freezes?
All our data says yes, and there are currently no freezes in our 10-day forecast. Go ahead and put those plants into the ground! Going back to the late 1800s, there are only 3 years we’ve had a freeze in April.
