HOUSTON, Texas (KTRK) — After a pleasant start to the weekend, a cold front arrives Saturday night and will bring us more of a dreary Sunday.
Scattered showers and even a couple of storms are expected Saturday night as a cold front swings in from the northwest. We’re not expecting any severe weather but a few storms could hold heavier rainfall. On average most of southeast Texas could pick up around a quarter to half an inch of rain, some a little more or less depending on where we see rain. Then after the rain a northerly breeze will settle in Sunday, keeping temperatures in the 50s with a chilly breeze under a cloudy sky.
When will the rain hit this weekend?
You’ll notice clouds returning ahead of a rain chance Saturday night. As a cold front pushes into Texas, our rain chances go up to 70% Saturday night with a 40% chance of showers lingering past sunrise Sunday. The cold front should arrive at about noon, ending the rain and bringing in a chilly breeze.
If we miss out on the rain Saturday night or Sunday morning, when’s the next best chance?
After this cold front moves through, a surface high pressure system will take it’s place. So don’t expect any rain Monday or Tuesday. Looking ahead to the extended forecast, an unsettled and warmer weather pattern could bring more favorable rain chances beginning Thursday through next weekend.
How cold will it get behind this front?
On Monday and Tuesday, we expect highs only in the 50s, and Tuesday morning’s lows will dip into the upper 30s! There’s even an outside chance it’ll be cold enough to put frost on the ground.
