Strong storms move out, chilly conditions follow for Sunday

HOUSTON, Texas (KTRK) -- A springtime cold front first brought stronger storms to the region, and by Sunday that stormy weather will be replaced with much colder conditions.

Behind the front temperatures have started to plummet Saturday evening and will continue to fall into the upper 40s or low 50s by Sunday morning. And with a cloudy day on tap, it's going to feel much colder outside Sunday with afternoon highs only in the low 60s in the afternoon. A northerly breeze will also put that winter "chill" in the forecast. A stray shower cant be ruled out, but generally its a drier and cooler day for the first Sunday of April.

Is this our last springtime cold front?

Possibly, yes. At least in the sense that temperatures could fall in the 40s because of it. Another cool front could move through later next week, but this one doesn't look to be as strong with either the potential for storms or the temperature drop behind it at this time.

With the rain and cold front, how long will our pollen levels stay low?

The weekend rainfall should help out in the near-term by washing away much of heavy pollen. However, with another drier pattern into next week, you'll probably start to see that light film of pollen returns outdoors.

Does this mean drought conditions will improve?

Likely improve, yes! Completely relieved? Not for everyone. The rain from this past week and what's expected this week will be beneficial though for those with drought conditions.
