Waking up to a frosty start, freezing temps for some

HOUSTON, Texas (KTRK) — Bundle up as you head out the door this morning!

A Freeze Warning is in effect for Trinity, Walker, San Jacinto, Polk, Burleson, Brazos, Grimes, and northern Liberty counties from 1 am-9 am Thursday.

Temperatures for most this morning are starting off in the 30s, and that could put frost on rooftops and windshields in your neighborhood. This is about 2 weeks ahead of schedule for when we normally get a our first fall morning in the 30s. The last time Bush Airport measured a low in the 30s was on March 20th when it dipped to 37.

Abundant sunshine today will push high temperatures well into the upper 60s over Southeast Texas and possibly even the low 70s southwest of Houston.

When will it warm up again?

It will be cool but noticeably warmer on Friday as lows bottom in the upper 40s and highs warm into the mid-70s. By the weekend, we’ll have highs in the upper 70s to near 80 with lows in the upper 50s to near 60.

How does the weather look for Election Day?

It should be rain-free but very warm and humid. High temperatures will soar into the mid 80s after morning lows in the upper 60s.

Is there any rain in the 10 day forecast?

Yes! But it’s a small chance for now. It should stay rain-free through Election Day of next week, then humid air rushing in Wednesday could bring isolated showers. A higher chance of rain could accompany a front penciled in for next Friday, November 10th.
