Although our current spell of delightfully mild weather is likely to persist through the weekend, you might want to keep a sweater or jacket handy. The coolest weather so far this season is likely to move in by Monday.
Temperatures early Tuesday and Wednesday could dip into the 40's, even on Galveston Island, and it is not out of the question that the mercury could dip below the 40 degree mark over some parts of the Houston-Galveston area before the coldest air moves east.
The cold front, combined with a low pressure trough moving in from the west, may bring a few showers and thunderstorms to the County by Sunday or Monday, though rainfall amounts are not likely to be excessive with this particular system.
By the way, if you don't like chilly weather, long-term forecasts call for a quick warm-up by Thursday and Friday.
