FOX 26 Houston Weather Forecast

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.

FOX 26 Houston Weather Forecast

Overnight a cold front will sweep through the area and end any threat for super thick widespread fog. The cold front should move through without bringing any chance for rain or storms. It will start to feel more like late December with high temperatures in the 60s and overnight lows in the 40s for New Year's Eve. Temperature should be around 50° by midnight Tuesday night as we celebrate the New Year. New Year's Day will stay on the cooler side with highs in the low 60s and overnight lows in the middle 40s. Next disturbance will bring a chance for spotty showers on Thursday, with isolated rain sticking around for Friday and Saturday. A warm front will bring temperatures back to the 70s Sunday with a 50% chance for showers and thunderstorms ahead of our next cold front. Models are hinting that a big pattern change could be in store for next week. Temperatures will get cooler about a week from now on Monday with highs only in the 50s. But much colder air could arrive by the middle of next week around January 8th that could mean our first big freeze of the season...stay tuned!
