Houston, TX – A strong cold front is set to move through Houston tonight, bringing a dramatic drop in temperatures just in time for Thanksgiving. Residents should prepare for chilly evenings with lows dipping into the 30s, marking a sharp contrast to today’s humid and warm conditions.
According to the National Weather Service, Wednesday will see highs of 80-85 degrees ahead of the front’s arrival late tonight. Winds could gust as high as 25 mph as the system passes through, ushering in significantly cooler air by Thanksgiving morning. Holiday travelers should expect breezy conditions, especially along major roadways like I-45 and I-10.
Thanksgiving Day will feature partly sunny skies with a high near 65 degrees, but nighttime lows could plunge into the 30s for outlying areas and the low 40s within the city. Friday and Saturday will continue the cool trend, with daytime highs in the upper 50s to low 60s, offering crisp but pleasant weather for post-Thanksgiving activities.
Drivers are encouraged to exercise caution, particularly during the evening hours when temperatures will feel considerably cooler. Those planning outdoor holiday events or early Black Friday shopping should layer up to stay warm.
Looking ahead, the weekend will remain cool and clear, with Sunday bringing highs in the mid-60s under mostly sunny skies. This extended period of cooler weather is a departure from Houston’s typical late-November warmth, making it ideal for enjoying outdoor festivities.
