Cold front sweeps through Texas Thursday

HOUSTON, Texas (KTRK) — Another cold front will sweep through Texas Thursday, but instead of bringing snow, this one brings more sunshine.

Temperatures will start off around 40 under a clear sky. Temperatures ahead of the front will warm all the way into the low 70s, making for a picture-perfect afternoon in Houston. The breeze will pick up from the northwest as the front rolls in Thursday evening. With little moisture to work with, it should blow through dry with only a few clouds.

How cold will it get behind Thursday’s front?

Highs will drop back closer to 60 with lows back in the 30s behind the front. Our coldest morning should come Sunday when temperatures dip to near freezing. We’ll enjoy plenty of sunshine during this entire stretch.
