Friday’s Cold Front bringing more than rain:
A cold front moves into southeast Texas late Friday night. This is a major storm system for the Ohio and Tennessee Valley but we are on the tail end of the front, therefore, we won’t see much in the way of rain or severe weather. Houston has a 20-30% chance of rain Saturday morning.
This, however, will be a significant severe weather outbreak for a chunk of the Midwest and Deep South Friday night into Saturday.
If you have travel plans anywhere from St. Louis to Atlanta and points in between, there could be widespread severe storms with tornadoes, hail and damaging winds.
The system’s passage will also cause increased winds and lower humidity behind it. Navasota, Brenham and College Station will have a Red Flag Warning in effect Friday afternoon as the atmosphere dries out and winds increase. Any flame that sparks could spread rapidly.
The National Weather Service also issuing a Fire Weather Watch Saturday as humidity drops and winds gust near 30 mph.
Allergy Update:
If you’ve noticed that you’re feeling a bit sneezy and sniffly, we do have issues with tree pollen. Oak numbers are climbing for the first time this year. You may have noticed the cat tails falling from the trees. Ash tree levels are also elevated.
10-day forecast:
Winter comes to end next week and temperatures stay above average but not record breaking. St. Patrick’s Day weather looks good as well as the rest of the week for those kiddos and parents on Spring Break next week!
