This sunny weather continues Monday before the next front rolls in midweek

HOUSTON, Texas (KTRK) -- This sunny and gorgeous weather continues Monday before the next front rolls in midweek, bringing the chance for showers and storms Wednesday. A few storms could be strong to severe Wednesday evening too.

Temperatures Sunday evening will fall from the upper 70 to upper 50s overnight. So it won't be as cool Monday morning, though still on the mild side. We're expecting the same amount of sunshine with a few clouds around for Monday with high temperatures climbing into the low 80s. Winds will be picking up out of the south too throughout the day, so you may notice that it'll be a tad more muggy by the time the sun sets Monday.

How long does that nice weather stick around?

We'll get to enjoy it through Monday, then the strong Gulf breeze whips the warm, humid air back in here by Tuesday. The early outlook for the rest of next week also looks stormy with a similar pattern setting up again Wednesday through Saturday.

When's our next chance for rain this week?

Wednesday is the next chance we could see more widely scattered showers and storms in Houston. A cold front will slowly begin to approach Southeast Texas Wednesday morning, likely moving through the region from north to south throughout the day. This front could bring showers and storms Wednesday afternoon and evening, few of which could be strong to severe with gusty winds, small hail and heavy rainfall as the main concerns. And depending on the timing of this front, if it moves slower towards the coast, it could keep some rain in the picture for Thursday morning too. While we are still expecting this front to clear and push offshore, there is the chance it could still and keep some showers around Thursday and Friday.

Any more rain in the forecast?

Yes. After the midweek front we have another storm system that'll move across Texas next weekend. This could bring scattered showers and storms each day Saturday through Monday of next week. Right now there's a 40% chance for rain each day, but those rain chances will likely shift once we get closer. At this time no day is a complete washout, but ones you'll want to stay weather aware for if you have another plans for Mother's Day weekend.

What's the latest on drought conditions with all this rain?

In some places, yes! We've already seen the drought end over parts of Houston, and this round of rain likely ended it over more of Houston and Harris County. We'll get official word on Thursday when the new Drought Monitor report is released. Expect drought improvement just about everywhere in Southeast Texas.
