Houston is experiencing notable weather changes this weekend, marked by a cold front that is set to impact temperatures and fire safety in the region.
Cold Front and Elevated Fire Watch
A cold front moved through Southeast Texas, bringing a shift in winds and a drop in temperatures. On Saturday, the area recorded nearly record-high temperatures, with breezy and humid conditions. However, this will change as the winds switch to a gusty northerly direction.

Temperature Drops and Cold Nights Ahead
Following the cold front, temperatures are expected to plummet. Highs will be in the low 70s on Sunday, with overnight lows dipping into the low 40s. Areas north of Houston could see temperatures fall into the mid- to upper 30s.
- Feels-like temperatures may drop into the 20s and 30s Monday morning.
- Frost is a possibility on chilly mornings.
Residents should prepare accordingly, especially for children waiting at bus stops. This cold snap marks the lowest temperatures since February.
Temperature Variability This Week
Interestingly, the region is set to experience a rapid increase in temperatures again. By mid to late next week, highs could soar back into the 80s.
Latest Tropical Update
As of November 8, 2025, tropical cyclone activity in the Atlantic Basin is not anticipated to escalate in the next week. The hurricane season, which concludes on November 30th, shows a minimal chance for additional storms in the Gulf.
Overall, weather conditions in Houston are dynamic, requiring residents to stay updated and cautious amid this changing climate.
