Today’s forecast:
We’re tracking a drop into seasonable temperatures, thanks to Friday’s front. You’ll feel the crisp, dry air will be felt as soon as you step outside. Even as the day warms up, highs are only expected to reach the lower to mid-70s, about 10 degrees cooler than Friday. Humidity is anticipated to stay low, making for a comfortable Saturday all around. However, this morning will be a breezy with wind gusts picking up to 20 mph today and you know what they say: If it’s breezy, take it easy on the gulf course ⛳️.

If you suffer from allergies: Oak tree pollen is still extreme.
Which is why your weather team is keeping close eye on the wind and rain this week. When it’s windy outside, it moves pollen around which makes it worse for allergy suffers.
Weather pattern shift: rain expected mid-to-late next week:
While this weekend’s weather will be a welcome break from the recent warmth and stickiness, changes are on the way. High-pressure that’s been keeping Houston dry is expected to move east after Sunday. This shift opens the door for disturbances and increases the chance of rain starting Wednesday, with additional rain possible Thursday, Friday, and potentially into Easter weekend.
Your Extended Forecast:
Rain chances range from 20% to 40% Wednesday through Monday April 6. Our morning lows drop to 58 on Sunday and jump up to the 70s by Friday
