Weak front arrives Friday, more ozone pollution Saturday

HOUSTON, Texas (KTRK) -- A weak cool front arriving Friday will keep the sunny weather going through the weekend ahead, but we still might have to deal with ozone pollution problems for part of the weekend.

Our sky will remain clear for most of the night until some fog develops near the I-10 corridor. This fog will blow away fairly quickly as the weak cool front blows in. Temperatures will start off around 60 degrees, then an abundance of sunshine will rapidly warm temperatures into the upper 80s. The humidity will be so low behind the front that the "feels like temp" might be below the actual air temperature.

An Ozone Pollution Watch is also in effect as unhealthy levels of ozone could get develop in the afternoon hours and persist into the early evening. Ozone is a lung irritant that can trigger coughs and asthma attacks in sensitive individuals.

What can we expect for the weekend?

Friday's front will keep the sunshine going through the weekend ahead! Saturday starts off in the mid 50s and warms into the mid 80s with low humidity and a gentle southeast wind. An Ozone Pollution Watch is also in effect for Saturday as unhealthy levels of ozone could develop in the afternoon hours and persist into the early evening. Ozone is a lung irritant that can trigger coughs and asthma attacks in sensitive individuals. The Gulf breeze kicks up another notch on Sunday to bring a milder morning and a warmer afternoon. There could also be another round of morning fog to start the day, but most of Sunday will be filled with sunshine.

Are anymore cool fronts on the way?

Another weak front is now scheduled to arrive on Tuesday. This front will bring us one morning in the 50s before the sticky Gulf air returns.

When does rain return to the forecast?

It won't be until late next week that we have enough moisture back for some rain chances to return. We'll be keeping a watchful eye on an upper-level Pacific storm that should approach the state of Texas around Easter weekend. At this time it looks like the low will track just north of the state, giving us warm, humid, and breezy weather with just a 20% chance for the holiday weekend.
