Before we get to the forecast:<\/b><\/p>\n
Houston started 2026 on an unprecedented warm note, with several cities easily surpassing old January 2nd temperature records. Houston Bush Intercontinental Airport (IAH) hit 84\u00b0, breaking the previous record of 81 set in 2000. Houston Hobby also set a new record, climbing to 84\u00b0 and topping the old mark from 1965. College Station saw temperatures soar to 87 degrees, shattering its old record of 81. The only exception on the map was Galveston, where the previous high remained unbroken. These temperature spikes were well above the seasonal average of 63 degrees.<\/p>\n

The good news for anyone looking for a break from the warmth: a cold front moves in Saturday morning and is expected to drop temperatures by nearly 10 degrees. Saturday\u2019s high is near 76\u00b0, with an even cooler Sunday expected at around 68\u00b0. Morning temperatures are in the 50s and 40s.<\/p>\n

No rain is expected with this front, but there will be a switch to dry, northerly winds for a noticeably cooler feel, especially in the mornings. These lower temperatures should stick around through Sunday, making it the coolest day of the upcoming week before a warming trend begins again Monday afternoon.<\/p>\n

After Sunday\u2019s cool-down, temperatures climb again, and we could set more record highs on Tuesday and Wednesday. Rain is possible Thursday through Saturday. Saturday\u2019s rain would be tied to a cold front, and if that front moves through during the day Saturday, it will leave the Chevron Houston Marathon on Sunday dry and chilly, with early-morning temperatures in the upper 40s, perfect for running. We\u2019ll keep you posted on the timing of that front in case there are changes.<\/p>\n
