Houston Residents Face Another Cold Front Before Midweek Rain
A harsh winter morning is expected to greet Houston residents on Monday as temperatures drop near freezing, making for a potentially frosty day outside. The city can look forward to sunny skies and mild conditions, with highs reaching into the mid-60s, but this brief respite from the cold will come to an end midweek.
According to forecasters, a new system is set to bring showers on Wednesday, with a 60% chance of precipitation. While rain totals are expected to be relatively low at around an inch, it's still welcome news for the region, which has seen only about an inch of rainfall this month - typically, Houston should have seen over two inches by mid-January.
However, cold temperatures may linger into early next week, with a strong cold front predicted to arrive next weekend. This could bring freezing or sub-freezing mornings as far north as Sunday and Monday of the following week. Temperatures are expected to plummet from the 70s on Friday to the 30s by Sunday morning.
Residents can expect another batch of rain on Monday, but with a twist - it's predicted to be cold rain, bringing temperatures in the 40s and 50s as the front arrives. While not a hard freeze is currently forecasted for Houston, areas further north may experience some wintry precipitation.
The good news is that this cold snap is expected to be short-lived. By Tuesday, warmer weather will arrive, ushering in an end to the chilly conditions and dry spell. However, it's essential to take precautions now as temperatures drop tonight, especially if you have cold-sensitive plants or pipes exposed outside.

Brrr! Can't believe we're getting another cold front in Houston before midweek rain even sets in. I'm all about that cozy vibes, but not so much when it's freezing outside 
. Anyone else planning on bundling up and waiting for those warm weather returns? 
. I'm so over these Houston winters - one minute it's hot, next it's freezing 
. Anyone else getting tired of shoveling snow and scraping ice off their car? I swear, we should just have a permanent 75-degree weather here, no matter what the rest of the country is going through 
. And don't even get me started on the plants... my poor poor poor succulents are gonna hate this cold snap 
. Anyone know any good tips for protecting them?
. At least it's not snowing yet, that would be a whole other story. But seriously, gotta make sure my plants are all good and warm in here until this cold front passes. Anyone else getting a little tired of the Houston weather rollercoaster? 
. Like, I know its winter and all but cant we just have some actual winter weather that doesnt suck the life outta us? I mean 40s and 50s is basically still warm weather for Houston right? 
And what about our poor plants and pipes?! Have to be extra careful tonight or theyre gonna freeze and stuff. Can someone pls tell me when were gonna get some actual winter wonderland vibes around here? 
midweek can't come soon enough for me! anyway, at least we're getting some rain after that awful dry spell 
gotta make sure to bundle up if you got plants or pipes outside tho... dont wanna freeze your pipes lol 
I'm kinda glad they're predicting some rain this week, it's been ages since we've seen any in Houston! 1 inch is better than nothing, right? 
And yeah, the cold temps might be a pain, but at least the warm weather will come back on Tuesday. My grandma always says that winter is just a cycle, so I guess she's right 
. Just gotta make sure my plants are all bundled up and stuff, don't want them to freeze 
shouldn't our city be getting at least 2 inches by now? 
it's been super dry lately. Hopefully, it won't be a total washout though, I don't want to get caught in any flooded roads or anything 
. And ugh, cold temps again next weekend? 
how are we gonna make it through this winter thing... anyway, at least the warm weather is coming soon 
can't wait for that!
️
. The cold rain on Monday sounds kinda nasty 
. Can't wait for that warm weather to roll in by Tuesday 
Just hope our pipes and plants can handle the drop in temps tonight 
.
. Like, I get it, Houston isn't exactly built for snow or freezing temps, but still, a bit of warmth would be nice after all the dryness we've been dealing with lately 
. At least it's not another record-breaking heat wave, right? 
.
ugh i dont think im ready for winter yet
