It’s a treat for Halloween, strong cold front arrives midweek

HOUSTON, Texas (KTRK) — Our weather looks phenomenal for the last day of October. Temperatures will start off chilly in the upper 40s, then sunshine will warm us into the low 80s. By Trick-or-Treat time it will be nearly perfect with temperatures falling from the 70s into the 60s under a clear sky.

Ragweed, grass, and cedar pollen levels are high, so keep that in mind while you enjoy the lovely weather outside.

When does the strong cold front arrive?
A strong cold front from Canada looks to blow down the Plains and reach us late Wednesday. The air could be cold enough to bring snow showers all the way to the Texas Panhandle and the first freeze/frost to the Hill Country. At this time we think the front will reach us Wednesday evening. 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.
