HOUSTON, Texas (KTRK) — It will feel like winter in Houston all week long, and even colder air is coming by MLK weekend that could bring the first frost of 2026 to parts of Southeast Texas.
While most of the week will be sunny, a cloudy weather disturbance is rolling in Tuesday that also brings a small chance for rain. While dry air will remain in the lower levels, moisture aloft will eventually allow some light rain to fall down to the ground. Your chance of getting measurable rain is just 30%, and if you do get rain, it will probably be less than a tenth of an inch.
With more clouds than sunshine, temperatures will have a tough time climbing out of the 50s.
How long does the cold weather stick around?
For all of this week…and beyond! In fact, two more cold fronts are coming this week, the first late Wednesday, the second late Friday. We are expecting mostly seasonal temperatures with highs in the 60s and lows in the 40s most days this week, but the front coming MLK Day weekend will push our lows down into the 30s.
Are any freezing temperatures possible with these cold fronts?
It now looks like a freeze is possible with the cold front coming in MLK Day weekend. 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.
