A rare "cool" front could move into the Houston area next week.

The National Weather Service (NWS) reported that Houston will see a 20% chance of showers and thunderstorms Saturday and a 30% chance of showers and thunderstorms Sunday.

The weekend showers and a change in the jet stream pattern could allow for a front to move into the area on Tuesday and Wednesday, NWS reported.

The front will only take the edge off the heat for a few days and is expected to bring with it a higher chance of showers and storms and high temperatures in the high 80s, according to the NWS.
