A strong cold front will push into Southeast Texas on Sunday ushering in much colder temperatures that will last well into next week. As a strong cold front approaches Southeast Texas on Sunday, scattered showers and thunderstorms will be possible ahead of and along its boundary. A few of these storms could become strong to severe in the late morning to afternoon hours, especially north of I-10 and east of I-45. The Storm Prediction Center has outlined this area with a 15% probability of severe weather on Sunday.
Behind the cold front, much colder air filters into Southeast Texas with a period of below-normal temperatures extending well into next week. This includes the potential of multiple nights of below-freezing temperatures in portions of Southeast Texas deep into next week. The low end of the low temperatures for next week looks to fall in the mid 20s to low 30s. There remains quite a bit of uncertainty on precipitation next week as it all depends on how far northward a coastal system in the western Gulf drifts. The probabilities for wintry precipitation Wednesday/Thursday are low, but not zero, so be sure to stay up to the date on the latest forecasts/briefings for additional details as we get them.
