HOUSTON — Temperatures will continue to drop over the next couple of hours in the Houston area following the cold front.
You will really notice the difference in our temperatures midday and this afternoon.
We’re going from highs of 98 on Tuesday to highs in the low 70s today. Temperatures are going to climb, but not much with the upper 60s by noon. Think about that – 60 today at lunchtime. That's a 20 to 25-degree drop from Tuesday.
Keep the sweater handy. In direct sunlight, the 70s will feel nice, but you may get cool with the ongoing north wind.
Drought report
Rain chances are slim at least for the next seven days. Although the weather has been pleasant, it has been dry for a bit too long.
Moderate drought conditions are creeping in west of Houston in Liberty County. If dry weather remains, drought conditions will continue to spread.
