Boo-tiful weekend ahead!

HOUSTON, Texas (KTRK) — Get ready for some BOO-tiful weekend weather!

The strong winds that have plagued us for the past few days are finally coming to an end, with sustained winds today down to around just 10mph.

Sunshine will rapidly warm temperatures into the upper 70s during the afternoon. Ragweed, grass, and cedar pollen levels are high, so keep that in mind while you enjoy the lovely weather outside.

How does the weather look for Sunday?
It looks almost identical to Saturday! We’ll enjoy lots of sunshine with morning lows in the upper 40s and highs in the upper 70s.

What can we expect for Trick-or-Treat time on Halloween?
It should be ghoulishly good with temperatures dropping into the 60s, light winds, and low humidity under a clear sky.

Is there anything big coming our way next week?
A strong cold front from Canada looks to blow down the Plains next week, and the air could be cold enough to bring snow showers all the way to the Texas Panhandle. At this time we think the front will reach us late Wednesday or early Thursday. This will be a front where most of the rain occurs after it passes, and it will likely lead to our first stretch of sweater weather with highs in the 60s and lows in the 40s.

Is there anything of concern in the tropics?
Texas is normally done with hurricane season by mid-October. Chief Meteorologist Travis Herzog explains whyhere. We will continue to monitor the Pacific Ocean for any storms that could curve across Mexico and bring rain to Texas.
