Cold front brings in cooler air, wind, and lower humidity

HOUSTON, Texas (KTRK) — A cold front has moved off the coast. Cooler air is filtering in behind the front and will continue to move in Thursday morning leading to a chilly start. Winds will also remain elevated today with wind gusts up to 30 mph.

Sunshine will warm temperatures in the upper 60s

What is the outlook for Easter weekend?
Right now it looks great! The stronger cold front that blew in 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. Friday will also likely be our coldest morning left until after the summer. The Gulf breeze returns for the weekend, bringing back cloud and mild temps. We currently have a 20% chance for brief shower or thunderstorm on Saturday, but we’ve taken the rain chance out for Easter Sunday. Temperatures over the weekend will range from the 50s in the morning to the 70s in the afternoon.

When will this oak pollen go away?!
We are near peak pollen season, but we’ll need to give it another couple of weeks before we fully rid ourselves of local oak pollen issues. Oak pollen levels are verging on extreme, so a heavy rain would do a lot to help decrease the amount of the allergen that’s floating in the air. Unfortunately, the cold front’s winds will also blow a lot of pollen off the trees and into the air, so expect the oak count to climb Thursday and Friday.
