Houston Bracing for Cold Snap Before Rainy Week
A chilly start to the new week is expected as temperatures in Southeast Texas plummet close to freezing, with lows of 32 degrees forecasted for most areas. While patchy frost can still be a concern, sunny skies and mild highs in the mid-60s are predicted for Monday's MLK Day holiday.
The cold weather will stick around through Tuesday before warmer air arrives midweek, accompanied by a chance for rain on Wednesday. A 60% probability of showers is forecasted, with total rainfall anticipated to average about an inch throughout the region, though locally higher totals could reach up to two inches near the coast.
Mid-January typically sees over two inches of rain, but only one inch has fallen so far this month in Houston. The rain will likely be accompanied by a cold front that's expected to bring wintry precipitation to north and central Texas, with the possibility of freezing temperatures in those areas.
A strong arctic cold front is forecasted to make its way to Houston this weekend, potentially ushering in more rain and a batch of wintry weather. Early outlooks indicate a chance for freezing or sub-freezing temperatures and rain across northern and central Texas, although specific impacts are still being ironed out.
Residents are advised to be prepared for the changing weather pattern, which will bring another round of rain but with temperatures dropping into the 40s and 50s as the front arrives.

i'm lovin the idea of MLK Day sunshine tho! midweek rain & winter vibes r not my fave tho, let's get some serious coffee & cozy time in

. I mean, it's not every day we get to see frost and freezing temps in January, right? And with MLK Day coming up, I hope people don't let the weather ruin their plans 
. But seriously, a 60% chance of rain on Wednesday sounds like a total bummer. Hopefully, they get some much-needed precipitation to break the dry spell 
.
... I mean, I get it, some people need a break, but can't we just have one good winter day? My friends and I are trying to study for our exams and suddenly the weather is all over the place 
... I'm like, "Guys, let's focus on this test, not whether or not we'll get frostbite outside 
. I bet those drones are just there to gather intel for some top-secret government project. And have you noticed how the temperatures are supposed to drop into the 40s and 50s? That's not just a coincidence, that's code for "winter is coming"... or in this case, winter is already here, but they're just trying to make us think it's not 
On a serious note, it's always good to be prepared for the weather, especially since we haven't had much rain this month. But 2 inches of rain sounds like a nice surprise after the dry spell 
. And wow, arctic cold front coming in on the weekend? Hope everyone has their coats and warm gear ready 
so like, how do ppl deal with this stuff? we dont get anything close to freezing here where i live and its always crazy when it does happen. can someone pls explain what a cold front is tho? like, does it just magically come in and ruin our day or what?
I'm not sure what's more surprising, the fact that Houston needs to prepare for freezing temps or that it only got like an inch of rain so far this month! January is usually all about the rain in Texas, so let's hope this cold front brings some much-needed moisture. The 40s and 50s temps are still a bit harsh for my taste, but I guess winter's here to stay... at least for now
