Chilly fall air sticks around for a few more days

HOUSTON, Texas (KTRK) -- Our coldest weather since March 19th settles in Thursday morning and we've got a few more chilly nights ahead.

Thursday morning looks to be the coldest we'll get out of this front. While the lows in Houston will bottom out in the low 40s, many communities outside of the big city could wake up to a little frost on the ground. This could happen in neighborhoods and communities where the lows dip into the mid 30s. Keep in mind the air temperature is measured about 6 feet off the ground, so when it reads in the mid 30s it is usually freezing at ground level.

How long does this chilly fall air stick around?

You'll get to enjoy this lovely weather through Saturday. The Gulf breeze will kick up a notch on Sunday, bringing back mild mornings and warm, humid afternoons.

When is our next cold front?

We have a weak front penciled in Monday of next week followed by a potentially stronger front on Thanksgiving.

What is the early outlook for Thanksgiving Day?

Ahead of Thanksgiving it will get warm and humid again with lows in the 60s and highs in the 80s, but on or around Thanksgiving Day we have a stronger cold front penciled in. The timing of this front is still in question, so it could still be a warm Thanksgiving Day following a cold Black Friday. We'll continue to refine the timing and impacts as the holiday approaches.

When could we get our first freeze in Houston?

Long range projections indicate that the earliest our first freeze could happen is the first week of December, but that is a low probability at this time. On average, Houston's first freeze occurs during the second week of December.
