HOUSTON, TX – A strong cold front will move across Southeast Texas this weekend, bringing severe weather and freezing conditions into early next week. There is a chance of rain and storms from late morning to late afternoon Sunday, with areas north of I-45 and I-10 at risk for severe storms.
According to the National Weather Service, isolated storms could produce damaging winds and hail, especially during the afternoon rush hour on Sunday. Residents should stay updated on the forecast and make sure they have multiple ways to receive emergency weather alerts.
After the storms, arctic air entering the region will cause temperatures to drop. From Monday night the minimum temperature will go below zero, due to which there is a possibility of widespread frost. Forecasters expect sub-freezing temperatures to persist for several nights, threatening vulnerable plants and pipes.
The weather will be mild on Friday and Saturday and the maximum temperature will be around 75 degrees. There is a possibility of fog on Friday morning, while it will be partly cloudy on Saturday. However, there will be significant changes in the weather on Sunday, with the chance of rain increasing to more than 70%.
Residents are urged to prepare for both the storm and the cold. Protect outdoor plants and bring pets indoors. Additionally, inspect pipes and vehicles in preparation for winter.
For road safety, especially on major routes like I-45, drivers should avoid travel during heavy rain or freezing conditions. Updates can be found on the National Weather Service website.
