Houstonians experienced frost before 9 a.m. this morning, with sunny skies expected and a high near 56°F. Evening temperatures will drop to around 36°F, with patchy frost possible after 4 a.m. This pattern of frosty mornings and sunny days will continue through Thursday, with highs reaching 64°F. A cold front arriving Thursday night will lower weekend highs to the 40s and 50s, according to the National Weather Service.

Looking ahead, Houston will see a cold front descend Thursday night. "Thankfully the front will not produce measurable rainfall but it will drop our daytime highs in the 40s and 50 by this weekend," as reported by Click2Houston.

Nighttime lows are expected to reach freezing, so residents are advised to insulate pipes and protect plants. The week will bring a mix of clouds and sunshine, gusty north winds up to 20 mph, and mostly clear nights through Monday, with slightly warmer weather and a 20 percent chance of showers returning on Tuesday.
