Fire Weather Warning issued for Saturday
HOUSTON, Texas (KTRK) -- A cool front moved through Southeast Texas earlier today and is helping to clear the skies in it's wake and bring back the sunshine. Temperatures will warm into the low 80s today with low humidity.
How's the weekend shaping up?
Gusty winds and very dry air will blow in behind the cool front. It'll be so windy and dry that there will be an elevated risk for wild fires to spread. A Fire Weather Warning has been issued for the area. It goes into effect at noon, and lasts through 9pm. Cooler temperatures arrive for Sunday with morning lows in the 50s and afternoon highs only in the low 70s.
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?
Tree and grass pollen have risen to the high territory for now. It's the oak pollen that's the problem if you're sneezing right now.
