Cold front.
October 22nd, 2007
The temperature in Houston should drop nearly 20° in the next couple of hours:
Through noon…rain with embedded showers and thunderstorms will continue moving eastward across the area as a strong cold front moves on through. Rainfall amounts should generally average around 1/4 inch…with localized totals around 1 inch possible with the stronger and slower moving storms. Expect temperatures to fall into the lower 60s and possible the mid to upper 50s within an hour or two after frontal passage. It will be breezy too…with the strongest winds and wind gusts developing across the coastal counties.
