Hi everyone! Just checking in on a Sunday to provide a heads up about the slightly faster timing of a robust cold front that is racing through Texas. It should pass through Houston and will be offshore a little after sunset. Temperatures with the front are trending a bit colder, and you’ll want to be prepared for that to start the week.
Timing
The front is already pushing into the far northwestern corner of the Houston metro area, having reached College Station at 10:30 am this morning. It should reach the central part of Houston, including downtown, between 4 and 6 pm today, and push off the coast by around 8 or 9 pm tonight. Temperatures will drop by around 15 degrees with the frontal passage, and should continue falling in its wake. Winds will be gusty with the front, and then should pick up during the overnight hours, bringing more colder and drier air to the region. Mostly light showers will be possible as the front comes through.
Monday will be rather cold!
Wake-up temperatures for most of the area, away from the coast, are likely to be in the upper 40s. It is entirely possible that areas inland of Interstate 10 will not even reach 50 degrees on Monday, and when you combine that with winds gusting at 20 to 25 mph out of the north it is going to feel really brisk outside. Like, seriously, bundle up those kids for school please. Skies will be mostly cloudy, and a chance of light rain will persist throughout the daytime and evening hours. Lows on Monday night will drop into the mid-40s for most of the area, with the coast being slightly warmer.
Halloween
After a mostly cloudy start, we should see rain chances ending and skies clearing throughout the day on Tuesday. This will allow highs to reach into the mid-50s, but we’re going to continue to see breezy conditions with 20 or 25 mph gusts from the north. Temperatures will likely be about 50 degrees during the trick-or-treating hours, with overnight lows in the low 40s.
Rest of the week
Cold conditions will stick around through Thursday, and Wednesday night should be the coldest of the week. Much of the Houston region is likely to drop into the upper 30s on Wednesday night as we see ideal cooling conditions with clear skies and light winds. A light freeze will be possible for areas at the northern periphery of the metro area. After this we’ll see a warming trend heading into the weekend.
We’ll have a full forecast update for you on Monday morning.
YES, YES YES!!!! BE GONE FOUL DEMON HEAT!
Praise the Lord! Can’t come soon enough for me!!
From incinerator to refrigerator!
Hopefully it’s enough to kill off these mosquitoes!
You know they won’t. Those suckers have no chill. 😏
WOOHOO!!!
Bring it on!
Leeda is right on…I am holding back from “complaining” about this weather change…but dang it…”Mother Nature” is STILL reminding us, loud and clear, that she is in still in charge!
Zoey captured my thoughts exactly, foul demon heat indeed. I’m adding the humidity to that description.
Thank goodness. Been cussing the heat and now I can complain about the cold. Ungrateful aren’t I?
Thanks so much for the update!
Finally after 11 days of heat and humidity! Can’t wait to turn off the a/c!!
Eric why’d ya have ta mention a warming trend?! LOL
Girding my loins as we speak! Cold Front? Bringeth it.
Should I wrap the pipes? Lol
I do notice on my phone that the post time for the Space City weather is Universal Coordinated Time or UTC. Or you are posting it in the future and sending it to the past five hours? Maybe it’s just my phone.
Did something cause it to slow back down? Still very warm and humid downtown.
Watching You Tube videos to figure out my thermostat.
Hopefully this will be gone soon, hate cold weather!
I’m totally happy with this cold weather arriving, but I’m unhappy about not getting any rain here along the cost. I’m still watering constantly even as we speak and my well pump motor hasn’t had a break since around the first of June. Also, our neighbor has already lost around half a dozen of his 60 foot pines which he planted around 30 years ago.
But…but…but…what about climate change? And the hottest year on record??
Your ignorance is showing.
Love the cold,,, wait that means my mornings are gonna be super cold… time to call in for work 🤣🤣🤣#lovewinter♥️♥️
Thy is second person singular (not plural) so the reflexive is not thyselves; rather it is thyself. Saying thyselves is akin to saying myselves, himselves, herselves, or itselves.
