Houston weather: Wind advisory until Tuesday night, Wednesday front brings brief showers

Windy Tuesday and Wednesday, plus fire risk

What we know:

HOUSTON - Winds could gust to 35 mph today, but their direction out of the south will bring in slightly higher humidity. 

Other than the wind, tonight's weather for the Post Malone Rodeo concert should be quiet. 

A front will move through early Wednesday morning and will bring a brief opportunity for showers - most is not all of them will be very light, but some slick streets are possible for the Wednesday morning commute. 

Following those light showers, our air will become very dry and, along with gusty winds from the west, the risk of brushfires is a concern.

A Fire Weather Watch will be in place 1-7 pm Wednesday for areas west of I-45. Avoid doing anything that could spark a wildfire.

Oak pollen explosion

What we know:

It's that time of the year...March and April bring lots of pollen. Both tree and grass pollen are common this time of the year. So far, oak pollen has been the biggest issue for allergy sufferers, and you should expect those levels to remain high all week.

Fire threat continues to our west

Big picture view:

A large wildfire near Fredericksburg, TX has charred close to 10,000 acres but is now about 85% contained (although that could improve today). 

Wildfires will be a continuing concern and topic of discussion in our forecast for the next several weeks. Little to no rain is expected for Central and West Texas over the next 7 days. 

Our area is dry, but most locations aren't technically in a drought yet. Our next best chance for rain arrives on Sunday.
