Ozone Pollution Watch Thursday, weak cool front arrives Friday

HOUSTON, Texas (KTRK) -- We've got another sun-filled day coming our way on Thursday, and a weak cool front arriving Friday will keep the sunny weather going through the weekend ahead.

An abundance of sunshine, will rapidly warm temperatures toward 80 by noon and then reach the upper 80s for highs.

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 will Friday's cool front do for us, and are anymore on the way?

Friday's front won't move the mercury much, but it will usher in a fresh round of dry air. This front will reinforce the dry and sunny weather through the weekend. Another weak front is now scheduled to arrive on Tuesday. Both fronts will bring us one morning in the 50s, and both fronts should pass through without any rain.

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.
