Lower humidity for Friday and most of Saturday until storms return Mother's Day
HOUSTON, Texas (KTRK) -- A weak cool front moved through early this morning, and the result is a less-humid, less hazy, and generally less miserable day ahead!
Highs will still warm into the 80s, but with lower humidity in place it will feel more comfortable that it did yesterday afternoon. Unfortunately, the drier air won't stick around for the entire weekend, and by Saturday evening, rain could be returning to Southeast Texas.
The smoky haze from Mexico and Central America will continue to reduce the air quality, though our northerly winds today could help provide some relief through Saturday.
Is Mother's Day going to be a washout?
It's possible, but confidence in the details remains low at this time. The weather pattern will feature a slow-moving upper air storm interacting with a warm front moving in from the Gulf of Mexico, so there is the potential for both heavy rainfall and severe weather. If you have any outdoor plans for Mother's Day, you might want to draw up a plan B just in case while we sort out the details.
