Cold Front Brings Cooler Temperatures to Houston, but Milder Air Looms Ahead.
A cold front moved into the area on Tuesday evening, bringing a brief drop in temperature and scattered showers with it. Overnight lows will remain relatively mild, dipping only into the mid-to-upper 50s across most areas, thanks to a southerly wind that's helping to keep things warm. As the front passes through, some heavier rain may develop by sunrise, particularly in areas closer to Houston.
However, don't expect this cold snap to last long. By late Tuesday and into Wednesday and Thursday, milder air will move back in, bringing temperatures into a more "seasonal" range for mid-February. We're looking at highs in the 70s and lows in the 40s, with no arctic air in sight.
The rain associated with the cold front is expected to be scattered throughout the day, but the main line of precipitation will impact Houston during the evening commute. Some areas could see up to an inch of rain, while most neighborhoods will pick up less than half an inch. No severe weather is forecasted, but there may be some isolated thunderstorms and heavy rainfall as the front passes through.
In contrast, the weekend is looking much sunnier and warmer. Expect sunshine on Saturday and Sunday, with highs in the 70s and lows in the 40s. While it's unlikely we'll see any freezing temperatures until mid-February at the earliest, there may be another cold blast before then.

Sounds like Houston is due for a break from the heat! 
At least they won't freeze their butts off this time 
I'm loving this brief cold snap in Houston! It's like a mini-vacation from the usual sweltering heat 
. The temps might not stay low for long, but I'm just here for the break 
. And don't even get me started on those scattered showers - a little rain is always welcome 
. Bring it on, winter! 
#WinterWonderlandInTX #HoustonWeather #ColdSnapFeelsGood
, but I'm still over here dreaming of those spring breaks 
anyway, can't say I'm surprised about another cold front coming in - it's just part of the natural cycle, right? 
. So, let me get this straight... we're supposed to be excited about "milder" air that's going to bring us into the 70s? Like, who is this weather person trying to fool? We've all been waiting for some actual winter vibes around here, and now it's just going to be a boring repeat of February. And don't even get me started on the rain... because of course it's going to be scattered throughout the day 
. Can't we just have one decent storm for once?
But seriously, some of these forecast models seem kinda wonky, I hope they get it right this time. 
anyway, like, yay for milder air coming back on wednesday tho 
like, can we just go straight to spring already? 
but seriously, at least its not arctic air or snow, right? 
and i love how milder air is moving in by thursday 
, cant wait for that sunshine this weekend tho 
It's not like they're gonna last or anything, though - milder air is just around the corner. And of course, we know that means more rain is on its way... some areas could see up to an inch of it! Just peachy. On the bright side (if you can call it that), the weekend's supposed to be sunny and warm... but let's not get our hopes up - we all know how that ends 
OMG you guys! This cold front is like a tease! It brings us cooler temps, but like, only for like 2 days? 
. That's like, crazy! And on a lighter note, have you seen the graph showing how much rain we'll get in the next 30 days? It's like, a whole lot 
gotta stay positive about this cold front comin' in... i mean, yeah it's coolin' things down for now, but like the weather says, milder air's comin' next week 
... it's like trying to have a conversation with my aunt who loves to talk about the same thing over and over again 
i hate how they just swing from "it's gonna rain a lot" to "oh no arctic air is coming" and then we're back to normal temps after like 2 days. can't they make up their minds? 
anyway, at least the good news is it'll get warmer soon... 70s and 40s are still kinda cool for texas in february 
. Now I gotta reschedule for next week when its supposed to be even warmer... and still some chance of rain 
. I mean, can't they just make up their minds? One day it's cold, the next it's sunny... 
. At least the 70s temps on Sat & Sun will be nice tho 
btw i'm still team sunshine n warmth on the weekend
