Record heat to end 2021, Mild ringing in 2022, then a sharp return to winter!

Winter slams in the start of 2022

Northern Counties are in for Freeze warnings tonight (KPRC)

Cold front brings back winter:

A strong cold front will blast through Saturday evening. Temperatures will go from the 70s to the 50s in a matter of minutes. We have a 10% chance of rain Saturday afternoon but the story will be the sharp temperature drop. Temperatures nosedive to the 30s Sunday morning. A freeze watch goes into effect Saturday evening for counties south of I-10 with a warning in place for the counties to the north. You do not need to worry about your exposed pipes. Temperatures need to fall below 20 degrees for pipes to burst.
