Temperatures in the upper 30s possible Sunday for northern Houston

After a cool morning we’ll have a couple of warm days before Friday’s significant cold front barrels through Houston.

Today and Thursday

It’s going to be warm. After a dry, cool morning to start Wednesday off, with low temperatures in the 50s, southerly winds are going to bring humidity levels up for today and Thursday. Expect high temperatures to again reach into the low 80s, with the big difference being lows. Tonight they will likely fall into the mid-60s, and on Thursday night we’re probably stuck with a low of only about 70 degrees. Ewww.

Friday

But it’s not going to last. A cool front should push through Houston sometime during the morning or early afternoon hours—right now sometime just before noon seems most likely—and along with it we’re likely to see a decent amount of rainfall. The forecast models have become more bullish, so we could see some fairly heavy showers along with the front’s passage. I still think most of the area will receive less than an inch of rain, but some isolated areas could pick up a few quick inches of rain. It’s something we’ll be watching for as the higher resolution forecast models start picking up on this.

Conditions should dry out and cool down by Friday evening as the front blows through.

Saturday and Sunday

Look for a pair of gorgeous, sunny, fall-like days this weekend. Highs in 60s, lows on Saturday will be around 50 degrees, and will fall into the 40s for inland areas on Sunday. In fact, I would not rule out the upper 30s for northern Harris County, as well as Montgomery and Liberty counties.

Monday and beyond

Next week we’ll see a gradual warm up, with high temperatures likely getting into the mid- to upper-70s, before another front comes through. The timing is a bit uncertain, but it looks like the cooler weather should arrive a bit before Thanksgiving, potentially giving us highs in the 60s on the holiday. The front should bring another chance of rain on Wednesday or so.

  1. Looking good after the next few days!

    Especially since the A/C in our office building is down for the fourth time in a month….
