Fall is seriously arriving across Texas this week, as forecasters expect a cold front<\/a> to hit the Lone Star State starting Tuesday. The front, which should bring with it gusty winds and a chance of showers<\/a>, is set to plunge high temperatures into the 60s throughout southeast Texas.<\/p>\n

The front will start from the north, arriving in Texas from the Great Plains. The front will push into North and Central Texas by Tuesday, according to the National Weather Service in its long-term forecast on Sunday morning<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The NWS anticipates some rain could fall with the arrival of the front in North Texas, with wind gusts increasing to at most 30 mph. But low temperatures will plunge into the 40s and even upper 30s in parts of that region.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile in the Houston area, after relatively comfortable days Monday and Tuesday with highs in the low 80s, the front is expected to arrive early late Tuesday, bringing “drastic changes,” according to the NWS in its long-term forecast Sunday<\/a>.<\/p>\n

“A strong cold front is expected to pass through our area Tuesday evening or Tuesday night ushering in fall like weather,” read the forecast. “Unlike the past few cold fronts, which were weak and had a more Pacific-based airmass behind it, this cold front will have an airmass dropping down from Canada.”<\/p>\n

Because of that, the Houston area could see temperatures that drop into the mid 40s to mid 50s early in the evening Tuesday. Highs on Wednesday and Thursday should only scrape the lower 70s. Even Halloween on Friday\u00a0looks like a fall-like day, for the most part, with highs expected to be in the 70s.<\/p>\n

The cold front is likely to include scattered showers and thunderstorms, likely late on Tuesday, with strong offshore winds, per the NWS.<\/p>\n
