HOUSTON, Texas (KTRK) — A Freeze Warning is in effect until 9 am Tuesday north of Houston as temperatures could briefly dip down into light freeze territory.
The freeze is mostly likely to occur outside the urban heat island of Houston, especially north of I-10. It would be wise to protect any cold-sensitive plants like tropical varieties or vegetable seedlings as just 1-2 hours of freezing temperatures can cause significant damage. The air now looks to be too dry for any significant frost to form. Sunshine will rapidly warm the dry air Tuesday with temperatures in the 50s by noon and warming into the 60s for afternoon highs.
How long will the cold air stick around?
Not long at all. Highs and lows will warm about 10 degrees each day between Wednesday and Thursday, leaving us in record high territory for the weekend as temperatures surge toward 90 degrees!
Are we expecting any more frosty mornings or light freeze before summer?
It will be very difficult to get temperatures down into frost territory again after Tuesday morning, but it cannot be 100% ruled out for the end of March and early April.
