An Arctic cold front is set to bring severe weather, including damaging winds and a possible tornado threat, to the Houston area on Sunday. The first freeze of the season is also expected on Monday morning, prompting warnings to protect sensitive plants.
Houston residents are urged to stay alert as an Arctic cold front is expected to bring severe weather on Sunday. The system, while not as intense as last week's tornado outbreak, still poses a threat of damaging winds and the possibility of a tornado or two. Areas northeast of Houston , including Huntsville, Conroe, Livingston, and Liberty, are at the highest risk. Damaging winds and tornadoes are the primary concerns.
In addition to the severe weather threat, Houston will experience its first freeze of the season on Monday morning. Temperatures will be cold enough to potentially harm tropical plants, so residents are advised to bring them inside or cover them. Strong northwest winds between 15-25 mph will also contribute to wind chills in the teens to 20s. Bundle up as this cold weather is expected to last through Tuesday. While snow is possible, the chances are very low due to the timing of freezing temperatures and precipitation.
