Cold Front Ends Unusual Warmth in South and Southeast Texas as Cooler Stretch Begins

Forecasts call for a midweek warmup followed by a weaker front that cools the region again.

Overview

  • Saturday’s strong front snapped the early-January heat, with highs stuck in the 50s for many and near 60 degrees on Sunday across Houston, San Antonio, and Austin.
  • Morning lows through early week fall into the 30s and low 40s regionwide, with subfreezing pockets in the Hill Country dipping into the upper 20s to near 30 degrees.
  • Rain prospects remain limited to isolated light showers or drizzle Monday and Tuesday, generally 10–30 percent, with slightly higher odds west toward Laredo and San Antonio.
  • Sunshine pushes temperatures into the upper 60s to low and mid-70s on Wednesday before a weaker front late Wednesday into Thursday lowers highs back into the low to mid-60s.
  • Long-range models suggest a possible arctic front around Jan. 17–18, though details remain uncertain and frozen precipitation currently appears unlikely for Southeast Texas.
