Temperatures are set to drop sharply, bringing a true fall atmosphere. Currently, afternoon highs reach the low to mid 80s under sunny skies, with southeast winds increasing humidity. As warmer Gulf air meets cooler nights, dense fog is likely tonight and again Saturday morning.
Tonight, temperatures will fall from the 70s into the 60s. Friday remains warm, with highs in the upper 80s, challenging record temperatures. On Saturday, expected highs of 88°F will nearly match Houston’s hottest November 8th record of 89°F.
Houston should prepare for a sharp temperature drop as a strong cold front moves in during Saturday evening. The front will pass without rain but will shift winds and plummet temperatures drastically.
"Houston, get ready — a strong front drops us from near 90° Saturday to wind chills in the 30s Monday morning! We’re talking tank tops and air conditioning to puffer jackets and heaters in about 36 hours."
This weekend’s weather change illustrates a rapid and dramatic transition from warm fall conditions to early winter chills.
