FOX 26 Houston Weather Forecast

As we prepare to go into another weekend, get ready for more unsettled weather including a potential round of severe storms and a huge drop in temperatures. Sunday is a FOX 26 Storm Alert Day with the threat of severe storms during the afternoon and freezing temperatures for some overnight. Other than a few areas of fog late tonight, weather should be quiet with temperatures dipping to the middle 50s in Houston. Saturday will be a warm and breezy day with temperatures climbing to the low 70s with only a 10% chance for rain. Weather takes a drastic turn on Sunday with a round of strong to severe storms likely between 11 AM - 6 PM. Isolated tornadoes and damaging wind gusts will be the main risks with the highest threat north of Interstate 10 and east of Interstate 45. Make sure to download our FOX 26 weather app so that you will have a way to get severe weather alerts in your area. As storms roll out much colder air rolls in as a powerful cold front sends temperatures dropping to near freezing by Monday morning. In fact, temperatures stay well below normal all next week with highs in the 40s and overnight lows in the low to middle 30s for Houston. 20s are likely some nights next week for areas north of Houston. So prepare for multiple nights of potential freezing temperatures next week and the slight possibility of a few snowflakes or sleet pellets. A coastal low is expected to develop near the lower Texas coast that will spread some moisture our way late Wednesday into Thursday. There will also be a chance for light precipitation late Thursday into Friday. Most of this will likely fall as rain, but there's still a very low chance that there could be a light wintry mix. Right now the timing does not appear favorable for any major snow or ice for the Houston area. Make sure you are prepared for the upcoming freeze by filling up your car with gas, protecting your sensitive plants and insulating your pipes. Remember you will need extra layers too as this will likely be the coldest air so far this season.

Southeast Texas is waking up in the 50s and 60s with mostly quiet skies. Highs today will reach the upper 60s, but much warmer temperatures are on the way this weekend. Ahead of a strong cold front, highs Sunday will soar to the 70s. Sunday brings the chance for strong to severe storms. Right now, the Storm Prediction Center has outlined the northeastern viewing area in a 2/5 risk for severe weather and the Houston area in a 1/5 risk. The main weather threats will be heavy rain, damaging winds and isolated tornadoes. The strong cold front will sweep through the region Sunday night ushering cold air Monday morning. SE Texas will wake up to near freezing temperatures. Highs will remain in the 40s each day next week. An area of low pressure will bring moisture by the middle and end of the week. The big question is, will Houston see sleet or snow? We would need to freezing temperatures to line up with the moisture and models are still in disagreement of that timing.

Happy chilly New Year! We're entering a cool pattern for the next two to three weeks, so find a nice warm jacket and even an umbrella. For the rest of this week, we're looking pretty good. Aside from some drizzles tomorrow, expect a mostly dry, clear pattern with lows in the 40s and highs in the 60s and 70s. Now, the excitement or concern arrives next week. Our primary computer models have been very consistent with several days of cold air dropping into the US with temps of -10? to -20? in the upper Midwest. Some of that cold air will move into Texas and we should expect daily lows near freezing starting Monday with highs in the 40s. What about snow? Yes, there is a good chance for snow or sleet in Texas next week. It's still too early to be excited about snow here in the Houston area, but there's a high enough chance that you should stay weather aware for updates in the days to come.
