Sharp Drop in Temperatures, Possible Storms, and Fire Danger Trigger Hourly Weather Impact Alert A strong cold front moving toward the Houston area has prompted an hourly Weather Impact Alert, effective Sunday evening. The system is expected to bring isolated severe storms overnight, followed by a significant temperature drop and gusty winds. Meteorologist Kim Castro of KHOU 11 explained that the front will pass quickly, producing brief heavy downpours, lightning, and the possibility of small hail in some regions. While the most severe weather is anticipated farther east, parts of Southeast Texas—particularly northeastern counties—could still experience strong storms. Severe Thunderstorm Warnings are in place for northeastern Harris County, eastern Montgomery County, and southwestern Liberty County until 8:30 p.m. Affected areas include Liberty, Dayton, Plum Grove, Kenefick, and Lake Houston. The storm system is expected to move through the Houston area in the evening, reaching the coast by 9–9:30 p.m. Lows will drop into the low to mid-40s inland and around 50 degrees along the coast. Once the cold front passes, conditions will shift dramatically. Gusty north winds will bring much colder air overnight, with temperatures plummeting from the mid-80s on Sunday afternoon to the 40s by Monday morning. The strong winds will also heighten the risk of wildfire spread, prompting warnings against outdoor burning. A Fire Weather Warning is in effect Monday from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m., emphasizing the increased danger of fire propagation due to dry conditions and high winds. The forecast for the coming days includes a mix of weather patterns. Sunday night will see the cold front move through Southeast Texas, with Harris County experiencing strong thunderstorms, brief heavy rain, lightning, and gusty winds.#khou_11 #houston_area #kim_castro #northeastern_harris_county #eastern_montgomery_county
