After a record-warm afternoon in Southeast Texas, colder air will move in overnight, offering a brief cool-down before another cold front hits just in time for Thanksgiving. Here’s what you can expect for the rest of the week.
Following a record-breaking warm afternoon, colder air will sweep into Southeast Texas, bringing a brief cool-down on Tuesday. By morning, temperatures in Houston will dip into the mid 40s and low 50s, with north winds gusting up to 20 mph making it feel more colder. Fortunately, the weather will improve throughout the day, with sunlight raising temperatures to the upper 60s and low 70s by the afternoon. Wind speeds will also reduce, making it an ideal day for outdoor activities.
Looking ahead, another cold front is expected to pass into Southeast Texas early Thursday morning, just in time for Thanksgiving. Expect a breezy holiday, with temperatures starting in the mid-50s and largely cloudy skies. While the day will be generally dry, there is a slight risk of a passing rain, with temperatures only reaching the mid-60s.
For those concerned about the potential of a freeze, it appears unlikely in the coming week. Although long-term projections predict a light frost in the second week of December, the first freeze usually happens around that time in Houston. Stay tuned for updates as we enter the cooler months!
