Houston weather: Warm temps before arctic express rolls in next week

Get ready for some big weather changes over the next week as a major arctic blast pushes in by this weekend! Before we get to the super cold air on Monday, we have one other system late Thursday and early Friday that will bring a shot for a few showers and storms between 1-6 AM Friday morning. There's a low risk for a brief strong to severe storm in Houston early Friday with a slightly higher risk north of Houston. We will warm into the 70s Thursday ahead of that system with a light freeze possible early Saturday behind that system. However, an arctic blast is expected on Monday with high temperatures only in the 30s and overnight lows near 20. We dip below freezing again Tuesday night before rebounding to the 40s Wednesday. There's a slim chance for a little light rain & snow early Monday but accumulation is not expected at this time. But keep checking back as we fine-tune the forecast.
