Lots of changes are on the way over the next several days with big drops in temperatures and even a couple of warm afternoons to enjoy. Beginning with today, after a cold morning we'll warm up nicely into the upper 60s. Friday looks mild as well with lows in the 50s and highs possibly reaching the upper 70s. Our next cold front moves through the area Thursday night into early Friday and could even bring a brief round of strong thunderstorms. Friday will turn blustery again with north breezes and highs only in the 50s. Marathon weather this weekend does look chilly with a low temperature of about 32 on Saturday morning and about 40 on Sunday morning. This is going to be an MLK day holiday to remember with temperatures plunging into the 30s through the day along with very harsh north winds, and that will be followed by some of the coldest weather that we?ve seen since December 2022.

FOX 26 Houston Weather Forecast
Look for a quiet but chilly night across Houston with temperatures dipping to the 30s. Wind advisory has ended as wind is expected to settle down some tonight. Warmer air builds in over the next few days with temperatures soaring into the 70s Thursday afternoon. Next system pushes in overnight Thursday into Friday bringing some scattered showers and a few strong storms. There's a low risk for a few severe storms early Friday morning with Houston in the low 1/5 Marginal Risk. A few strong wind gusts near 60 mph will be the main threat. Next system arrives Sunday with a few rain showers and a lot of cold air. We'll go from 60s Sunday afternoon to 30s Sunday night. By MLK Jr. Day, highs will only be near 40 with overnight lows in the teens and 20s! This will be the coldest air so far this season and the first hard freeze. So remember to dress in layers, winterize your home by protecting pipes/dripping faucets, keep pets warm and check on family/neighbors that might need help.
