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 our first freeze of 2026.
How cold will it be for the Chevron Houston Marathon?
It’s a chilly Sunday morning, but it’s not as bitter cold as we’ve seen in recent years. Temperatures at the start of the marathon will be in the low-to-mid 40s with a light north wind around 5-10 mph. We’ll have some high clouds overhead allowing enough sunshine through to warm temperatures into the 50s during the big race.
How long does the cold weather stick around?
For all of next week! It will remain mostly cloudy through Tuesday, then sunshine returns Wednesday. We are expecting mostly seasonal temperatures with highs in the 60s and lows in the 40s most days next week.
Are any other freezes on the horizon?
We have no freezes in our 10 day forecast, but there’s still a lot winter left to get more freezing weather. In fact, signals are growing that a colder pattern will develop across Canada and the United States during the second half of January.
