Gusty northwest winds are forecast in the wake of Thursday’s cold front. Wind gusts look to peak around 30 mph west of Houston, and in the 35-40 mph range around and east of the city. A wind advisory is in place for all counties beginning this morning.
The next storm system will be moving into the area Sunday and Sunday night. We are monitoring the potential for frozen precipitation across parts of the region. There is considerable uncertainty in regards to the specific details this far out. Those with maritime interests should anticipate unsettled weather with widespread (liquid) precipitation, strong winds and elevated seas as a coastal low moves across the waters followed by a cold frontal passage.
A cold front will move through the region today, bringing a line of scattered showers and thunderstorms. Some of these storms could become strong to severe this afternoon with damaging winds and isolated tornadoes/waterspouts as the main risks. Severe weather threat will diminish from west to east through early this evening.
