Monday’s forecast:
If you’ve stepped outside in the last 24 hours, you already know, the cold isn’t just here, it’s taken over. An extreme cold warning is active for all of Southeast Texas through 12 p.m. Tuesday. We’ll wake up with temperatures in the teens and 20s. Gusty winds of 10 to 20 mph, with wind gusts up to 30 mph, will add to the chill, and wind chills will dip to zero in our far northern cities. The Houston area will be in the single digits and low teens.
Record low temperatures possible:
We don’t talk about low temperature records too often but we’re going to be close Monday morning.
Wind chills the rest of the day will be bone chilling too.
Tuesday’s Forecast:
This deep freeze extends into Tuesday morning as well, with actual air temperatures expected to get even colder in some areas. While wind chills won’t be quite as harsh on Tuesday, the cold itself is likely to be even more intense with some places seeing lows in the teens again. Keep your pipes and plants protected Monday night, we’re expecting our final hard freeze Tuesday morning. After Tuesday afternoon, we’re done with the hard freeze temperatures.
Your Extended Forecast:
Houston has one day in the morning above freezing, and that’s Friday. Saturday goes below freezing again from a cold front Friday. We have to wait an entire week before temperatures head to the 60s.
