HOUSTON, Texas (KTRK) — Two fronts are in our 10 day forecast, and the first arrives Wednesday night.
The atmosphere is moistening up ahead of the front, which will make for a milder start to our Wednesday. Temperatures will only drop into the upper 60s and low 70s with lots of dew on the ground and patchy fog around sunrise. There will be enough moisture in the atmosphere Wednesday afternoon to pop up a few showers and thunderstorms as temperatures climb into the low 90s.
The next opportunity for rain will come late Wednesday night as the front pushes in with a broken band of showers and thunderstorms. By sunrise Thursday it will be mostly dry with the front pushing deeper into the Gulf of Mexico. That will drop the humidity for the rest of Thursday and Friday.
Ragweed pollen remains extremely high and will likely remain there until we can get some rain to help wash the pollen away.
What are we expecting for the weekend?
On Saturday the Gulf breeze will push sticky air back into Houston, but it should stay mostly dry. Temperatures will start off in the upper 60s and warm to near 90 in the afternoon. Sunday brings back a chance for scattered thunderstorms as a stronger cool front pushes into Texas. Some of the remnant moisture from Tropical Storm Karl may get into the mix, increasing the chances for widespread rainfall that we really need.
How cool will it get behind this front?
Once the clouds and rain clear out behind the front, we should enjoy some delightful fall days with highs in the 70s and lows in the 50s!
What’s happening in the tropics?
Tropical Storm Karl has formed in the Bay of Campeche. For the very latest check out our daily tropical update.
