Houston Weather: Strong Evening Storms Bring Cooler Temperatures A strong cold front is expected to move through southeast Texas on Sunday evening, bringing a line of severe storms with gusty winds. The storm activity is predicted to occur between 5 and 9 p.m., with the highest risk of severe weather in parts of Walker, Polk, and San Jacinto counties. While Houston itself faces a low 1/5 chance of severe storms, the region will experience damaging wind gusts and hail as the front passes. Following the storm system, colder air will rapidly move into the area, leading to a significant temperature drop. Highs on Monday are expected to fall near 60°F, a 25-degree decline from Sunday’s temperatures. Overnight lows will range from the 30s to the 40s, though a freeze is not anticipated. Despite the chill, the cold snap is expected to be short-lived, with temperatures returning to the 80s by Thursday and potentially reaching the 90s by the weekend. The National Weather Service has issued multiple alerts for the region. A wind advisory will remain in effect from Sunday morning through Monday evening, affecting all of southeast Texas. A red flag warning has been issued for all counties on Monday, indicating an elevated risk of wildfires due to dry conditions and strong winds. Additionally, a small craft advisory is in place for bays and Gulf waters from Sunday morning through Sunday evening, transitioning to a gale watch by Monday afternoon. The return to work and school on Monday will be marked by a notably cooler climate, with residents advised to prepare for brisk winds and colder temperatures. While the immediate weather threats focus on the storm system and wind, the long-term forecast suggests a gradual warming trend as the week progresses.#national_weather_service #houston #southeast_texas #wind_advisory #red_flag_warning
