Houston braces for season’s coldest night, brief chill expected

Houston is set to experience its coldest night of the season on Sunday. Much of the area will see temperatures dropping into the 50s. However, this chilly spell will be temporary.
Cold Front Moves into Houston
The cold front currently entering Houston is ushering in cooler air. The forecast indicates a sunny and pleasant Sunday with high temperatures reaching the mid-80s. Winds from the north may occasionally gust, but the day should remain enjoyable.
Temperatures Expected to Drop
Tonight, many areas, especially those outside of Houston’s urban core, can expect nighttime temperatures to fall into the mid-50s. This marks the first significant chill of the season.
- Chilliest night: Sunday
- Expected lows: Mid-50s
- Previous low: 61°F on October 11 at Bush Intercontinental Airport
What to Expect Next Week
The dry air will give way to a southeasterly flow by Monday morning, bringing back muggier conditions. A weaker front is anticipated on Tuesday, which may lead to a couple of cooler nights. However, a more substantial fall-like cold front may not arrive until next week.
So, if you’ve been yearning for fall weather, it will make a brief appearance tonight. Enjoy the chill while it lasts!
