Houston’s first “real” cold front blasts through Friday

MORE: Houston cold front could bring a taste of fall this weekend: What to expect

Friday morning:

We’ve all been waiting for this! Our first “real” cold front blasts through Houston Friday morning, bringing a much-needed break from the heat and humidity. Highs will be in the 70s all day, something we haven’t seen since July 14.

This isn’t a front that’s expected to bring severe storms, but a few showers are possible as it moves through mainly in the morning hours. We’ll keep a 20% chance of rain in the forecast. Get ready for cooler temperatures!

Winds will be a big story across Southeast Texas for about 24 hours. From noon Friday through noon Saturday, strong northerly winds of 15–25 mph will gust to around 30 mph. The strongest winds arrive Friday night, creating blustery conditions for high school football games.

With morning temperatures in the 50s, Saturday will feel downright chilly, especially with the wind. The good news? Winds will ease Saturday afternoon, with highs climbing into the 70s.

If you love a cool, crisp fall day, Sunday is for you. We’ll start with temperatures in the 50s with calm winds before warming into the mid-70s in the afternoon. Expect mostly sunny skies, comfortable temperatures, and incredibly low humidity. It doesn’t get much better than this for a fall day in Houston.

The humidity returns Tuesday and so does a small chance of rain. Temperatures are also back near 90° on Wednesday.
