Cool but sunny Tuesday, storms return late this week

HOUSTON, Texas (KTRK) — It’s beginning to look (or at least feel) a lot like Christmas in southeast Texas!

Cooler temperatures will stay put for Tuesday, with morning lows starting in the upper 30s or low 40s, and afternoon highs reaching the low and middle 60s. But we’ll pair these chilly temperatures with more sunshine and a calm breeze.

How long will the cool weather stick around?

We’ll keep these below-average temperatures through mid-week until the next rain-making weather system rolls in on Thursday. That should also boost afternoon highs back to the 70s, with the potential for warmer temperatures next weekend, too.

When’s the next chance for rain?

By Thursday, we’ll have enough moisture back in place to spark a 70% chance of showers and storms. Rain chances will continue through the weekend, too, with more of an unsettled pattern taking hold. There’s a chance for some strong to severe storms as well, so we’ll be monitoring the weather closely. Isolated street flooding will be possible as well.
