Chilly start to Spring Break is quickly replaced with near record heat later this week.

HOUSTON, Texas (KTRK) -- We have chilly conditions to start off Spring Break week, but that's quickly replaced with near record heat later this week.

After a cool and cloudy Sunday, clouds will slowly clear Sunday night with temperatures falling into the low 40s by Monday morning. And while you'll want a jacket in the morning, you won't need one later in the day with high temperatures rising into the low 70s. So while Monday will be off to a cold start, the sunshine and calm breeze will help make it a brighter day and great start to Spring Break week!

Do we have any major weather changes coming during Spring Break?

Calm and clear weather kicks off Spring Break on Monday and Tuesday with more of an active end to the week. By Wednesday temperatures we'll have a little more of a muggy morning and warmer afternoon with morning lows in the low 60s and afternoon highs in the low 80s. And Wednesday is when our next weather system will move into Texas. A weak cold front will pass by Houston later in the day. Right now there's a small chance for showers and storms Wednesday evening, and then Thursday morning could be slightly cooler with temperatures start in the upper 50s. There's not much staying power with that cool front because by Thursday afternoon temperatures will soar into the upper 80s and be back there for Friday.

Are we done with freezes now?

It sure looks that way! On average, Houston's last night in the 30s occurs around mid March. If we see any signs of a light freeze or frost on the horizon, we'll be sure to let you know! Otherwise, it's generally considered safe to put plants into the ground if you haven't done so already.

Speaking of spring, what's the latest on pollen?

While these recent cold fronts have brought an uptick in Cedar pollen, the first few counts of Oak pollen have started to show up locally. So if you haven't already, now's the time to begin to do what you need to do to take care of your seasonal allergies!
