Sub-freezing temperatures and hard freezes likely next week

Sub-freezing temperatures and hard freezes likely next week

Another blast of arctic air appears headed toward Texas this weekend, with the cold air expected to continue through the middle of next week. The various computer-forecast solutions have come into fairly good agreement in calling for a mass of very cold Siberian air to move over the Pole the next couple of days, then plunge south across Canada and the central U.S. late week. Forecasts call for the leading edge of the arctic air to spread south across Texas Saturday afternoon, followed by windy and much colder weather Saturday night through the first half of next week. This next blast of arctic air is looking to be even colder than the what we experienced from last week’s cold blast. Behind the cold front, north and northwesterly winds will increase to 15-25 mph, with gusts to 35/40 mph Saturday night through Sunday night. 01/17/2025 02:05 AM
