HOUSTON, Texas (KTRK) — Get ready for more cold weather to round out our Spring Break!
Temperatures overnight will drop into the mid 40s as clouds increase from an approaching disturbance. That disturbance will bring plentiful clouds and a chance for light rain showers, especially west of Houston and south of I-10. Most of the rain will fall in the morning. By the afternoon, dry air will start to win out and push the rain away. We may even catch some late day sunshine like we did Friday, warming temperatures into the mid 50s.
How long will the chilly air stick around?
High temperatures over the weekend should stay in the 50s with mornings in the 40s. Monday will be the last really cold day, and it will also bring our coldest morning with lows in the upper 30s.
Will my plants be okay in the cold air?
More than likely, yes. We should dodge frost and freezing temperatures, but any cold-sensitive plants, like tropical varieties and newly planted tomato seedlings, will not enjoy the cold. It would be wise to protect them from the cold or bring them inside if possible before Monday morning.
How warm will it get next week?
Temperatures will pump back up toward 80 degrees on Wednesday and Thursday afternoons. Another cold front is coming for us on Friday, but it does not look to be as chilly as the one we are currently experiencing.
