Houston, TX – After a chilly weekend, southeast Texas is set to warm back to seasonal levels through Tuesday before a cold front brings rain chances and cooler air to the region, potentially impacting travel on major Houston-area roadways.
According to the National Weather Service Houston/Galveston, temperatures will climb into the upper 60s and low 70s on Monday and Tuesday across Houston, Katy, Baytown, and surrounding communities. Highs near 70 degrees are expected along the I-45, I-10, and Highway 59 (I-69) corridors ahead of the approaching front.
By Tuesday afternoon and evening, the cold front is expected to move through southeast Texas, bringing a 60% chance of scattered showers and isolated thunderstorms. Wet roads and reduced visibility could affect the evening commute, particularly near downtown Houston, the Energy Corridor, and suburban routes through Fort Bend, Harris, and Galveston counties.
Behind the front, cooler air settles in midweek. Wednesday and Thursday will feature lower humidity, sunny skies, and noticeably cooler mornings. Overnight lows are expected to dip into the upper 30s to low 40s in outlying areas such as College Station, Huntsville, and Crockett, while Houston proper remains in the low to mid-40s. Daytime highs will fall into the low 60s.
By Friday, temperatures begin to rebound, returning closer to seasonal norms with sunny skies and highs nearing 70 degrees once again, improving conditions for travel and outdoor activities.
Residents are encouraged to monitor updated forecasts, especially if traveling during Tuesday’s rain chances, and to allow extra time on area highways during wet conditions.
