FOX 26 Houston Weather Forecast
Wow! After a couple of record shattering, very hot days, a cold front has arrived. Look for a windy, very dry day with afternoon temperatures at least 20 degrees cooler then yesterday. Clear skies and drier air should bring us the coolest weather in more than six months tonight area wide - bona fide brisk! The rest of the week is looking terrific, but you should notice a bit more humidity and warmer air by early next week. One issue to be aware of is that we are dry - very dry, and with wind and low humidity, there is a fire risk today. Most local counties are under declared burn bans, so avoid anything that could set dry grass or brush on fire. There are a couple of possible developments in the tropics, but neither is a concern for our area at this point. Enjoy the chilly air!
