A Chilly Cold Front to Hit Southeast Texas This Weekend
Residents in Southeast Texas are bracing for a strong cold front that is expected to sweep through the region tonight, bringing with it a breezy and chilly day on Saturday. Temperatures, which warmed into the low-mid 70s on Friday, will plummet overnight, dipping into the mid-40s by Saturday morning.
As the cold front makes its way through Southeast Texas, there's a slight chance of scattered showers along the coast tonight as it passes over the region. However, the main event is expected to be a light freeze and frost on Sunday morning, with temperatures potentially dropping below freezing across much of the area.
According to forecast models, a high-pressure system from western Canada is set to move into Southeast Texas by Sunday morning, bringing dry air and clear skies that will exacerbate the cold conditions. This could lead to significant frost and freezing temperatures in many areas, making it a hazardous morning commute for drivers.
While there's currently no indication of snowfall in Southeast Texas over the weekend, some areas along the Gulf Coast, including Mississippi, Alabama, and the Florida panhandle, may see a brief flurry of snow due to the presence of moisture. However, these chances are slim at this point.
Once the cold air moves out of the region, temperatures will begin to rise, but it won't be until Tuesday that warmer weather returns. For now, residents can expect chilly conditions to persist through Saturday and Sunday before giving way to milder temperatures by next week.
For those looking to track the latest forecast updates, there are 13 alert radar maps available for Southeast Texas, including areas such as Houston, Harris County, Galveston County, and Montgomery/Walker/San Jacinto/Polk/Grimes Counties.
