Temperatures will drop sharply, bringing a distinct fall feel to Houston.
It’s hot outside with afternoon highs in the lower-to-mid 80s under sunny skies. Winds from the southeast will increase humidity levels. When the warmer Gulf air meets cooler nights, dense fog can form. Expect more dense fog tonight and again Saturday morning.
A strong cold front will pass through Saturday evening, bringing no rain but causing a wind shift and a significant temperature drop. Sunday will be breezy with north winds around 20 mph, gusting up to 30 mph, dropping highs to the upper 60s.
Houston, get ready — a strong front drops us from near 90° Saturday to wind chills in the 30s Monday morning!
By Monday morning, temperatures will be near 40°F, requiring jackets, sweaters, and possibly even a beanie. This chill precedes an even colder Tuesday morning.
This weather pattern will shift Houston quickly from tank tops and air conditioning to puffer jackets and heaters within about 36 hours.
Summary: Houston will experience a rapid temperature drop from warm fall-like highs into chilly conditions by early next week, with a dry cold front bringing gusty winds and significant cooling.
