HOUSTON – What a COOL start to the day, Houston. While it may have been refreshing after a warm and humid last couple of weeks, it was definitely a shock to some.
Thankfully, we’re already seeing temperatures climb as we get into the mid-morning hours.
We finally get a break from the rain and clouds as high-pressure looms overhead. High-pressure causes the air to compress or sink to the surface, meaning that we’ll be cloud free for the rest of the day!
We’ll get the full power of the Texas sun to help warm up your Monday into the 60s.
Unfortunately, we’ll still have some chilly moments outside - especially if you’re in the shade. Breezy north-northwest winds stick around after Saturday’s cold front gusting upwards to 20-25 mph, ushering in cooler-than-average air.
So, how can this help you plan to watch the University of Houston basketball team take on Florida tonight in the biggest game of the year?
If you’ve taken the day off from work to prepare and plan to grill, conditions will be pretty nice!
As the sun starts to set just minutes before the game begins, temperatures will quickly cool down as radiational cooling takes place. This is due to the lack of clouds that aid in blocking Earth’s heat escaping back to space.
This will definitely affect those having an outside watch party.
If you think these temperatures are comfy, being outside won’t bother you! But if you find them chilly, don’t forget to pack that jacket before you head out the door.
