Chilly Sunshine Returns in Houston as Storms Move Out
Residents of Houston can expect a welcome change in weather today as a cold front brings an end to the polar vortex that has gripped the city for days. The bitter chill is set to give way to a brisk, sunny day with temperatures rebounding into the mid-60s.
While it will be cool and breezy throughout the day, wind gusts of up to 30 mph are expected, making it feel even chillier. However, the respite from freezing temperatures is short-lived, as temperatures are set to plummet once again by Thursday morning, with lows in the mid-to-upper 30s.
The weekend promises a stark contrast, with sunshine and mild temperatures returning to the area. Expect highs of the 70s on Saturday and Sunday, a far cry from the arctic air that has dominated the region for weeks.
Looking ahead to next week, two Pacific storm systems are being eyed, which could bring some rough storms to Texas by Tuesday or Friday. While it's too early to say with certainty what to expect, forecasters will be keeping a close eye on the situation and providing updates as necessary.
For now, though, Houstoners can bask in the sunshine and enjoy the relatively mild temperatures before the next cold front arrives. As for colder snaps in February, experts suggest that it's unlikely to happen again until later this month.

. 60s mid? That sounds like a dream come true for me right now. can't wait to get out and enjoy the crisp air without freezing my bum off 
. btw, have anyone else noticed how quickly temps drop after that initial "warming up" phase tho? seems like we're back to square one 
. anyhoo, sunshine & mild temps for the wknd = all good vibes 
. I mean, I get it, winter is still here and all, but can't we just have one decent day without freezing our butts off for once? The thought of wind gusts and temps in the mid-60s sounds like a dream come true right about now 
. Of course, those Pacific storm systems could totally ruin things by Tuesday or Friday... fingers crossed they don't 
.
, but today's forecast looks like a total game-changer - mid-60s and sunny? yes please! 
️ However, I'm also getting a bit anxious about those wind gusts, 30 mph can feel really crazy. And ugh, the temperature drop on Thursday morning is gonna be brutal... back to freezing temps in no time 
. On the bright side, the weekend looks like it's gonna be lovely and sunny, perfect weather for outdoor activities! As for next week's storms, I'll be keeping a close eye on that too, but fingers crossed it doesn't mess up our sunshine vibes 
. And good news about no colder snaps in Feb until later this month - can we just enjoy the sunshine while it lasts? 
Finally, some decent weather! 30s at night is still chilly, but at least no more -40°C 
i mean, i get it, winter is coming and all but can't we just have a little bit of summer for once? 
can't wait for the weekend tho tho
The cold front is like, yay! I hope its not too windy tho 
. Like, 30 mph wind gusts? No thank u 
. Bring on the sunshine and warm weather! 
i'm glad they're predicting some sunshine for the weekend, my mood has been as gloomy as the weather lately 
at least we got some news that it's not going to be as bad in february... think i'll just stay inside and enjoy this little warm spell while it lasts 
. Can we get some of those sunshine-filled weekends every week for once tho? 
but yay, a break in the weather 
️ anyway, hope it stays mild 4 the wkend 
Fingers crossed no major storms come our way next week, would hate to ruin the vibe 
, and I'm really looking forward to trying their slow-smoked ribs 
. But anyway, back to Houston weather... 30 mph wind gusts are kinda crazy, you know? like, what's the deal with that? can't we just get some normal breezy days for once? 
on the other hand, it's always nice to have a reason to bundle up and drink more hot coffee 
heard 2 storms comin in nxt wk, fingers crossed they dont bring too much rain 
️
and yeah, gotta stay cozy with my hot cuppa while the cold front is still here
