HOUSTON, Texas – Morning fog drifts low across the Gulf Coast, softening headlights and hanging over open fields near I-45. By Monday, though, that mild, muggy start will feel like another season altogether as Houston trades humid warmth for a sharp November cool-down.
According to the National Weather Service, a strong cold front will sweep through Southeast Texas late Sunday, bringing a noticeable drop in temperatures and brisk north winds. After days in the low 80s, Monday will start in the low 40s and struggle to reach the upper 50s. Gusts near 25 mph could make the air feel even crisper for early commuters and outdoor events.
Sunday remains warm and breezy ahead of the front, with highs near 70°F and sunshine dominating most of the day. But as dry air settles in Sunday night, skies will clear and temperatures will tumble quickly—ideal for those prepping gardens or outdoor plumbing for cooler weather.
Veterans Day looks near perfect: sunny, calm, and around 71°F, a refreshing and comfortable change for ceremonies and travel. The rest of the week trends mild again, with highs returning to the upper 70s by midweek and pleasant evenings in the 60s.
To be fair, Houston’s front won’t bring frost or freeze like areas farther north—but it’s the clearest sign yet that winter is edging closer to the Gulf. For now, residents can expect a bright, brisk start to the new week—an early taste of late fall before Thanksgiving travel ramps up across Texas.
