Houston is bracing for a significant drop in temperatures following highs in the 80s on Saturday. A strong cold front has moved through the area, resulting in Sunday morning lows expected to be in the 30s and 40s.
- Temperature drop from 80s to 30s
- Strong cold front clears gloomy weather
- Gusty winds create colder wind chills

- Potential hard freeze on Thursday morning
- Weather Impact Alert Days issued for Thursday
As the cold front clears out cloudy weather, residents can anticipate sunny skies but below-normal high temperatures reaching only the mid-50s during the afternoon.
The recent weather changes in Houston are attributed to a powerful cold front that swept through on Saturday evening. This shift will bring about a stark contrast in temperatures as residents wake up on Sunday to chilly conditions. Wind gusts of up to 30 mph will contribute to wind chills making it feel even colder, particularly during the morning hours.
Key details regarding upcoming weather include:
- Sunday afternoon highs are forecasted to be in the mid-50s.
- An arctic cold front is anticipated on Tuesday, bringing rain before further temperature drops.
- Lows could reach into the low 20s by Thursday morning, with some northern areas possibly experiencing temperatures in the teens.
The KHOU Weather Team has issued Weather Impact Alert Days for Thursday due to these extreme conditions. Preparations for freezing temperatures are advised as outdoor plants may be at risk and pipes could burst if proper precautions are not taken. Residents should ensure they have adequate insulation and protection measures in place ahead of this significant drop.
This week’s drastic temperature changes highlight Houston’s unpredictable winter weather patterns. As residents adjust from warm days to potentially dangerous cold nights, staying updated on forecasts will be crucial for safety and preparedness.
