Cold front drops temps from the 60s to the 40s Thursday

HOUSTON, Texas (KTRK) — A cold front arriving Thursday morning will drop temperatures from the 60s around sunrise into the 40s by sunset. You’ll want a warm jacket on hand as a steady northwest wind blows over 20 mph under a cloudy sky, so if you step outside in the morning and it’s still mild, go ahead and take the jacket with you anyway.

How cold will it get behind this front Thursday night?

Lows in the mid-to-upper 30s are expected for Friday and Saturday mornings, but most of us will likely stay above freezing. We could see a few communities north of Houston drop down to freezing Friday morning.

Will chilly temperatures continue through the weekend?

Saturday will start cold in the 30s then warm into the 50s for the afternoon. Sunday will start cool but could finally warm up to near 70 degrees or warmer by afternoon.

What about the weather for Presidents Day?

If you have a long weekend with Presidents Day on Monday, you will see a warm end to your weekend. Temperatures could reach 80 degrees in most neighborhoods with dry weather under a partly sunny or mostly cloudy sky. The warm weather may continue for early next week. A brief shower or sprinkle is also possible, but most will stay dry.
