Houston weather: Colder Friday ahead before bone-chilling temps
Get ready for a major arctic blast still set to drop in Sunday PM and Monday! Before we get to that system though, we've got one coming in overnight that could bring a few strong storms. There's a low risk for a brief severe storm early Friday with a wind gust near 60 mph possible & hail near quarter size. But there will only be a small window for that to happen. Storm threat is mainly from 2-5 AM Friday and highest threat is north of Houston. Wind picks up behind that front with gusts to 40 mph and a WIND ADVISORY is in effect 3 AM - 4 PM Friday. Saturday should be quiet for the Texans playoff game with highs near 60. But a major arctic front arrives Sunday afternoon and evening. Martin Luther King Jr. Day on Monday will be much colder with temperatures in the 30s much of the day. Light sleet, freezing drizzle, or snow flurries may mix with rain on Monday with little to no accumulation expected. Then a hard freeze is likely for Houston early Tuesday with temperatures near 20. Another freeze is likely early Wednesday before temperatures start to warm up Thursday.

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.
