Cold front arrives Wednesday evening, even stronger cold front arrives next week
HOUSTON, Texas (KTRK) -- It's time to find the jacket if you'll be out and about near sunrise the next few mornings!
Temperatures Wednesday morning will dip into the mid-to-upper 50s across most of Southeast Texas, but it will once again warm up quickly with all the afternoon sunshine. That said, it will be comfortably warm Wednesday afternoon with highs in the mid 80s and pleasant humidity levels. Moisture levels and morning lows will drop even more behind a cool front arriving Wednesday night.
Do you expect any rain or thunderstorms with that front on Wednesday?
No. In fact, we don't expect any rain at all. This Pacific cold front will have hardly any moisture to work with, so the rain chance will be very near zero percent. In fact, we don't have any rain in the forecast until early next week.
When can we expect temperatures to really cool off again?
Friday morning it will get chilly behind Wednesday night's front with lows dipping into the upper 40s, but next week a bigger cool down is looking possible. A major change in the jet stream pattern should bring the coldest air so far this season down the Plains and into Texas. After the front clears, we predict lows in the 40s and highs in the 60s, and that kind of chill could stick around for several days if the jet stream pattern verifies.
What are you tracking in the tropics?
There's another tropical disturbance with a high chance to spin up into the next named storm over the Caribbean. While we don't expect this to get anywhere Texas, it could eventually threaten Caribbean communities, the Bahamas, and even Florida as a hurricane.
