A major shift in the weather pattern late this week will upend Houston temperatures, resurrecting a longer winter chill for January.

We’ll continue to track the chance for record-breaking heat, then our front will drop us into seasonable temperatures for January.

Some Friday storms could be briefly heavy, and strong winds are possible as the cold front moves through, with an isolated strong storm possible ahead of the front at midday and Friday afternoon. This marks a clear pattern shift heading into the weekend.

A cold front is moving through Houston, bringing cooler temperatures and gusty winds for Saturday. Highs will stay in the upper 50s with cloudy skies and strong breezes.

The Chevron Houston Marathon: On your mark, get set, go! Or, depending on where you live, maybe that’s a “no-go” for driving plans. According to the Houston Marathon Committee, more than 300,000 folks put on their tennis shoes to support, run, and cheer, raising funds for over 60 local charities last year.
