It took awhile last night, but cooler air finally did move into the Houston metro area, and temperatures have fallen to around 50 degrees this morning across most of the city.

TODAY

As expected, today will be gorgeous, with highs in the low 70s, lots of sunshine and dry air. Too bad it’s Monday!

TUESDAY

We’ll begin to see the return of Gulf moisture late on Monday, and that will lead to the possibility of some scattered showers on Tuesday afternoon. This will also bring daytime temperatures back to around 80 degrees. I’ll also be watching the approach of a low pressure system in the upper levels of the atmosphere now located near Washington state (see map below). This will have the potential to cause some problems on Wednesday.

A storm system now over the Pacific Northwest could track toward Texas by the middle of the week. (Weather Bell)

It’s quite cool across Houston this morning, with low temperatures in the low 40s up north, and upper 40s to 50 degrees along the coast.

TODAY

In the wake of Thursday’s front we’re going to see beautiful conditions today, with highs around 70 degrees and mostly sunny skies. Enjoy!

SATURDAY

Southerly winds will begin to return Gulf of Mexico moisture, setting us up for a warmer day under partly to mostly sunny skies, with highs around 80 degrees. Still, pretty darn nice.

EASTER SUNDAY

The holiday still doesn’t look great, weather-wise, but it could be worse. Sunday looks to be a gray day, starting out muggy. A cool front should reach the area by around noon, but it doesn’t look to be bringing any dynamic weather with it.

A healthy line of storms is moving through the Houston region this morning, generally bringing 0.25 to 0.75 inch of rain as a cold front moves through.

TODAY

The strongest storms and thunderstorms have now moved east of the area and we should see clearing conditions throughout the morning. Highs today should remain in the 60s and we’ll probably see some sunshine during the afternoon hours. Winds will be brisk out of the north-northwest throughout the daylight hours.

Good morning. It is quite warm across the metro region this morning, with low temperatures only in the mid- to upper-60s across most of Houston and dew points not far behind.

TODAY

We’re going to see another partly to mostly cloudy day today, with brisk southerly winds again bringing up moisture levels across the area. Highs will be near 80 degrees. However a capping inversion, an area of warmer air aloft, should prevent the development of any kind of widespread showers today and this evening. Things become more interesting late tonight as a cold front approaches.

THURSDAY

The front should reach northern areas sometime after midnight, and will perhaps move through the city a bit before sunrise and should be off the coast by mid-morning. The front should perturb the atmosphere enough to break the capping inversion discussed above, and most areas might see two to three tenths of an inch of rain, but this is not going to be a real gully washer.
