A cool front is sweeping across Southeast Texas this weekend, promising to swap out the mild balminess with a chill that'll have you reaching for the woolens according to forecasts from Click2Houston. Saturday's respite is poised to give way to a rainy drape over Houston skies, with light rain possibly as soon as tonight and heavier showers and perhaps a stray lightning bolt set to disturb Sunday's early risers.
While tailgaters gearing up for the Texans' squabble against the Jacksonville Jaguars might start with soggy burgers, the weathermen promise clearing skies by afternoon. But don't take the capes off just yet; the mercury's planning a plunge into the low 40s early Sunday, with a “strong north breeze” ensuring that shivers find a home among the fans as per forecasts from Chron.com.
Named Storm "Cait" by The Weather Channel, this frigid visitor is part of a larger dance of winter fury that's dusting the Rockies and Midwestern plains with snow. As for Houston? She'll shake hands with "Seattle-esque conditions," a respite, although a damp one, from the unbearable furnace that was summer hinted Chron.com.
In addition to the winter break, the city may now relax because the likelihood of a last-named storm this year is decreasing, which is the swan song of hurricane season. According to information from Click2Houston, the disturbance has been disintegrating over the last two days and has only a 10% probability of becoming a named storm as the season's threat fades.
