A cold front brings a chance of rain Saturday, and much cooler weather Sunday
HOUSTON, Texas (KTRK) -- We're bringing back some rain to kick off the weekend, though it doesn't look like a complete washout. After some spotty showers in the morning and early afternoon, an approaching cold front early tonight (6-8PM) will bring another chance for rain and even a brief storm or two is possible.
How does the opening weekend of Spring Break look?
We've got another weather change arriving today as a cold front blows in during the late afternoon and early evening. This front brings a 40% chance of showers and thunderstorms. Temperatures on Saturday warm from the mid 60s to around 80 degrees, then cool off into the upper 40s Sunday morning. Sunday looks dry but still cloudy. It will also be breezy and chilly with highs only in the upper 50s.
Are we still doing this time change thing?
Like it or not, Daylight Saving Time starts this weekend. The clocks will "spring" an hour forward early Sunday morning, meaning the sun will rise and set an hour later than it does on Saturday. Saturday's sunrise and sunset times are at 6:39 a.m. and 6:25 p.m. Sunday's sunrise and sunset times are at 7:37 a.m. and 7:26 p.m.
Do we have any major weather changes coming during Spring Break?
Once the front clears on Saturday, we get a really nice stretch of weather for most of Spring Break! Expect lots of sunshine next week and pleasant temperatures on most days. We have a small chance for rain on both Wednesday night and Friday, but it's a mostly dry Spring Break.
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..
