In brief: In today’s post we discuss how cold conditions got in the Houston region this morning, and then look ahead to warmer days. We also consider the potential for rain chances this weekend, and a stronger front next week.
How low did we go?
This morning’s post is a little late because I wanted to get a good read on just how low temperatures in the region went this morning. Even tho the numbers aren’t official yet,the city’s primary station at Bush Intercontinental Airport dropped to at least 37 degrees (the record minimum for today is 32 degrees,set in 1987). Some of the usual cooler spots, including Conroe, Cleveland, Brenham, and Navasota, all recorded a light freeze this morning, and the vast majority of the metro area dropped into the 30s, barring the immediate coast. In short, it’s rather chilly for early November. Though, this won’t persist. Last week we described this front as short and sharp, and temperatures will moderate quickly today.
Veterans Day
If you’re participating in a ceremony to honor the nation’s veterans this morning, you can expect sunny skies and warming temperatures. We should be in the 50s by mid-morning, and headed to the lower 70s this afternoon. Light easterly winds will be present.
