Plunging temperature and high winds Thursday afternoon

Prepare for a shocking arrival of wind chills, seriously high winds and two nights of damaging hard freezes. Beginning at noon today, a wind advisory goes into effect as north winds could gust above 40 mph. A hard freeze warning and wind chill warning begin at 6 p.m. meaning that wind chill values could drop into the dangerous single digits tonight along with the start of a major freeze that could keep many areas below freezing for more than 36 hours. Christmas Eve and Christmas Day will both begin with freeing temps and chilly afternoons. The good news with this freeze as compared to the the freeze of February 2021, is that this one should be very dry, so there is a very low risk of icy roads. Next week, high temps could reach the low 70s.

Hard freeze watch as arctic blast approaches, chilly Wednesday afternoon

You've got 24 hours to get those preps done before the Polar Express comes screeching into the station. Howling winds will drain in dangerously cold air, resulting in single-digit and negative wind chills. Limit time outside for you and your pets, especially during the coldest parts of the day. At least two nights of hard freezes are likely, in addition to scattered power outages from winds and bitter afternoons. Good wind/solar supply should help the grid's demands, but be ready for anything and that includes major travel implications. After shivering our way through Christmas, New Year's looks to be quite the treat with temperatures rising above average for much of the nation!

Chilly Wednesday with highs in mid-50s
video

Take advantage of today's quiet weather to make your final preparations for tomorrow's arctic blast. Gas up the car, get those non-perishable foods, wrap pipes, cover plants, the whole shebang before dangerous cold plows in around midday tomorrow. Wind chills could get close to zero and this will be the coldest air since the Presidents Day freeze 2021. One bit of good news is that icy roads are much less likely this time except in areas where sprinklers or other pipes coat a street. Weather should be clear and cold for Christmas.

Wednesday morning weather forecast

Preparations for our dangerous arctic blast should be completed by Thursday morning! Weather should remain cool and quiet tonight and Wednesday with just a slim chance for a shower. Major arctic blast will arrive by Thursday afternoon sending temperatures down into the teens and 20s by early Friday. Wind gusts of 30-40 mph will also mean dangerous wind chill values near zero late Thursday and early Friday. Hard Freeze Watch is in effect for SE Texas from Noon Thursday - Noon Saturday. Wind Chill Watch is in effect from 6 PM Thursday until Noon Friday. Scattered power outages due to the strong wind will be possible late Thursday into early Friday. At least we are not expecting any snow or ice with this event, just chilly temps. Still make sure your home is winterized with your pets, plants & pipes protected. Also don't forget to wear extra layers while outside during this cold spell. Much warmer temps look to return by the middle of next week!

Cloudy, cool & quiet with only isolated rain through Thursday morning so you've got until then to complete Christmas + 4 P preps. Scattered power outages due to gusty winds up around 40mph are also possible beginning Thursday afternoon, so plan for that as well just in case. An extended period of time of up to 48 hours below freezing is possible with single digit if not negative wind chills during the coldest parts of the day. In an ironic twist of "Only in Texas" weather events, after bottoming out in the teens Friday morning... day time highs could reach the low-mid 70s by middle of next week!

Huge changes are on the way this week leading up to the Christmas holiday this Sunday! You will have two cool but mainly quiet days to prepare for upcoming freezing conditions later this week. Next few days should be mainly dry with only a slim chance of a shower and highs in the 50s. Temps will briefly soar to the 60s on Thursday ahead of a strong arctic cold front that will send temperatures CRASHING by Thursday evening. In fact, we will end up in the teens by Thursday night and likely remain below freezing Friday and early Saturday! Remember to protect yourself with extra layers, cover plants, cover/wrap pipes and make sure your pets are warm also. Christmas day temps will be warmer but still well below normal climbing to the 40s by Sunday afternoon. We finally start to crawl out of the chill early next week with highs near 60 by Monday. Prepare now to stay safe in the cold!

Rainy, chilly Monday

Not the best start to the week as a coastal low brings rainy, chilly, breezy conditions. But, today will feel like paradise compared to the end of the week. Tuesday and Wednesday will be cloudy, cool but mostly dry for Christmas and 4 P's prep. Thursday will be a bit of a wild ride, as depending on the timing of the front the coast could near 70 while inland locations get stuck in the 50s. Gusty winds will rapidly drive down temps wind chills and could cause isolated power outages. As a Christmas present, we should finally get above 40 by Sunday.

Mostly cloudy, dry Sunday evening in the 50s

A widespread Hard Freeze (temperatures below 25 degrees) hits southeast Texas Friday morning and possibly Saturday morning. Christmas Day could start below freezing but will warm up to the mid-40s in the afternoon.
