It’s now January 22, 2026. Texas weather is really something to behold. We’ve had interesting, to say the least, weather. We’ve had warm, not much rain, weather. Many days have been warm, then we would have a short lived cold night. And we have had cold nights, as around freezing nights. But then it warms back up. In many ways it’s even been pleasant.
All that comes to an end this weekend. It’s now Thursday and all we know is we have Winter Weather Warnings. When exactly it will hit is the only question. As of right now they are saying cold wind chills, as low at 5 degrees below zero possible in isolated areas. Most of the rest of us need to be prepared for single digit wind chills.
In addition we are looking at possible/probable freezing rain. Freezing rain is when the moisture (rain) is supercooled. When it hits a surface, tree limbs, cars, roads, etc. it freezes on contact.
As for our temperatures, tonight is a low of 56. It hardly seems likely to get that cold. But tomorrow Friday the day time should hit mid 60’s, maybe 68, but the night time will drop down to around freezing, think 35 or 36 but maybe as low as freezing. In addition, we may expect rain. That should make for fun weather and road conditions. Saturday the temperature continues to fall. The high Saturday may be low 40’s but could be down to just above freezing, the the night time around 20. Yes, that is well below freezing. Saturday is snow, ice, freezing rain change. Then comes Sunday. Sunday we look at a high of just below freezing, think 31, and a low of 16 or thereabout. Hello cold. You had best prepare you house for the cold, and they do mean cold.
Monday the daytime high’s climb above freezing to 38, but we can still expect lows of 19 but hopefully a bit above that. By Tuesday we will be out of cold. We will have daytime highs of 50, and evening lows of just above freezing.
How will it all play out? We don’t know. We’ll know when it happens. As of right now we’ve done out best to get this house winterized and ready for this weather event.
