HOUSTON, Texas (KTRK) — Finally! After a solid week of cloudy skies, it has finally cleared up over Southeast Texas, and that means it will get even colder tonight.
In fact, it will be very near freezing if not below freezing across a large part of Southeast Texas by sunrise. With the wet ground, a heavy frost is possible, so you’ll want to protect cold-sensitive plants.
There will be some clouds returning the sky Saturday, but enough sun gets through to warm temperatures into the low 60s with a gentle wind.
Are we done with freezes after tonight?
Not yet! 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 that could send us back into freeze territory, one arriving next week and one in late February.
How does the rest of the weekend look?
Amazing! Sunday morning starts off cool with lows in the mid 40s, but the afternoon we are the 60s and 70s! Some low clouds blowing back in during the day could lead to a few sprinkles. Otherwise it will be dry.
When is our next chance for rain and storms?
Our next storm complex arrives Tuesday as a cold front pushes through Southeast Texas. We’ll be monitoring this system closely as it does have the potential to bring some stronger storms.
