HOUSTON, Texas (KTRK) — We are tracking one more cold front moving toward Houston between now and MLK Day. That front will arriving Friday evening looks even stronger, and that could bring Southeast Texas the first frost and light freeze of 2026.
The cold front that moved through Wednesday morning will give us widespread temps in the 30s Thursday morning, and a sunny but cool Thursday afternoon in the 50s.
How long does the cold weather stick around behind this front?
The main chill will be felt Thursday. By Friday afternoon, temperatures will back up around 70. But the next cold front will blow in Friday night to bring even colder weather for the holiday weekend.
What’s the coldest it will get this weekend?
We expect temperatures will get into light freeze territory Sunday morning for much of Southeast Texas. A high pressure cell from western Canada will move all the way down to Southeast Texas by Sunday morning, and with a clear sky and very dry air, a light freeze and frost are possible. Beyond that, signals are growing that a colder pattern will develop across Canada and the United States near the end of January, but it remains to be seen if any of that arctic air will make a move down to Texas.
