Record highs get smashed Monday, but it'll be 20 degrees cooler by Wednesday
HOUSTON, Texas (KTRK) -- If you like Summer, you are going to love what we have coming up for the first part of this week!
Temperatures Monday started off in the low 70s but we'll rise up into the upper 90s in the afternoon under full sunshine. The record high temperature for October 14th is 92 degrees, and we are predicting the high to get all the way up to 97! If that verifies, it will also be a new record for that latest 97 degree has been observed in the calendar year. The current record is October 2nd, 1938.
An actual Fall front is expected though as we head into Wednesday morning bringing back cooler temps to SE Texas.
When are we going to break this streak of 90 degree high temperatures?
Temperatures will climb into the mid 90s again Tuesday, likely breaking another record high temperature. Then we get a rush of cooler air dropping in here Wednesday morning, which will bring high temperatures down into the upper 70s through Thursday! The last time Houston recorded a high in the 70s was on a rainy day in late July.
When could we see our next chance of rain?
Rain chances look slim to none over the next 10 days, but there is a small 10% chance of showers on Friday and Saturday.
