Houston is set for unseasonably hot temperatures on Thursday, with a forecasted high of 90°F—potentially breaking a record in 2022. The heat comes just ahead of a significant cold front expected to bring cooler temperatures and possible storms by the weekend.
Thursday will be very hot in Houston; the temperature is expected to reach 90°F, 12 degrees above the typical temperature for this time of year. If it gets this hot at Bush Intercontinental Airport, it might beat the record of 87°F that was set in 2022.
The heat may feel like late May rather than early April, but it will get better soon. Soon, the weather will be very different because of a strong cold front coming through Texas.
However, before the cooler air comes, there is a slight chance of storms in Houston on Thursday and Friday, especially near and south of I-10.
Some storms, mainly in the north and west of the city, could bring strong winds or snow. The actual change in the weather will start when a stronger cold front moves through Southeast Texas on Saturday.
The National Weather Service's Storm Prediction Center says heavy storms will likely hit much of the Houston metro area that afternoon and evening.
This could make plans to be outside less likely. Both cold fronts should move off to sea by Sunday, bringing more incredible and more comfortable weather to the area.
