HOUSTON, Texas (KTRK) — We’ve got another cold morning ahead, but change is coming to this frigid, dreary weather pattern.
Low clouds will hold tough through most of the morning, allowing temperatures to only drop a few degrees. Most neighborhoods will bottom out in the mid 30s and stay above freezing. Factor in the wind, and it will feel like it’s around 30.
We do expect sunshine to emerge on Friday, but we don’t want to overpromise on how much you’ll actually get. This type of weather pattern is notorious for keeping low clouds around longer than expected, and we see evidence that it cloud stay completely cloudy for many through the morning. By the afternoon we should have drier air pushing in and allowing sunshine to emerge before the sun sets. Highs will climb into the 50s, but whether you’re closer to 50 or 60 will depend on how much sunshine you get.
Are we done with freezes?
Not yet! In fact it will be very near freezing if not below freezing across a large part of Southeast Texas on Saturday morning. With the wet ground, a heavy frost is possible, so you’ll want to protect cold sensitive plants. After Saturday morning it will stay above freezing for all of next week. There are potentially two more shots of cold air coming this month, one in mid-February and one in late February, that could send us back into freeze territory.
