HOUSTON, Texas (KTRK) — We’ve got another blast of arctic air blowing our way, and this pattern change will make for some chilly and windy weather today and Saturday.
A chilly northwest wind is being felt all across Southeast Texas today, plus the clouds are helping to filter out the sunshine. This is making it difficult for temperature to climb much above 50 degrees. But if you think it feels cold today, just wait until tomorrow! The true arctic air will blow in overnight, making for a cold and blustery Saturday despite a sunny sky.
How cold will it get behind the next arctic front?
It won’t be nearly as cold as what we just experienced. That said, we will likely see lows in the 20s again this weekend. A Cold Weather Advisory is in effect for most of Southeast Texas Saturday morning as wind chills drop down into the 15-25 range near sunrise. A Freeze Watch is also in effect from 9 p.m. Saturday to 9 a.m. Sunday because some spots north of Houston could drop down into hard freeze territory. Make sure all people, pets, and livestock have a warm place to shelter through Sunday morning.
Will we get a chance for any frozen precipitation with this arctic front?
No. This front will pass through dry, and no precipitation is expected behind the front.
This is too cold for Houston! When will it warm up again?
After this frigid weekend, we should have more seasonal temperatures with lows in the 40s and highs in the 60s. By next Wednesday we could even have a “warm” rain with temperatures near 60.
