Here's when you might need a jacket the next few days
HOUSTON, Texas (KTRK) -- It's time to find the jacket if you'll be out and about near sunrise the next few mornings!
Temperatures overnight will drop down into the upper 50s across most of Southeast Texas thanks to the dry air that blew in on Veterans Day. With an abundance of sunshine, the cooler air will not last long, and by noon it'll already be in the upper 70s. That said, it will be comfortably warm Tuesday afternoon with highs in the low 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, not really. This Pacific cool 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. About 10 days from now 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 threatening to spin up in 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.
