Texas weather is highly variable, ranging from 10°C in the Panhandle to 35°C along the Gulf Coast today, with a sharp cold front sweeping south-east. The state experiences extreme contrasts, from humid subtropical conditions near Houston to arid semi-desert in the west, making the live forecast above essential for local planning.
What is driving the current Texas weather pattern?
A strong upper-level trough is pulling Arctic air south across the Great Plains, dropping temperatures by 15–20°C in 24 hours across north Texas. This clash with warm, moist air from the Gulf of Mexico is also triggering severe thunderstorms and a risk of isolated tornadoes east of Interstate 35. The texas weather map shows a clear boundary between the cool, dry air mass and the warm, humid zone, with the front stalling near the coast by evening.
How does this compare to typical Texas conditions?
Average highs for this date range from 28°C in Dallas to 32°C in Houston. The current plunge is 10–15°C below normal for the northern half of the state, though south Texas and the Rio Grande Valley remain near seasonal averages. The north texas weather is most anomalous, with frost advisories likely for the Panhandle overnight. For broader UK context, see our UK weather hub and 10 Day Weather Forecast UK.
Is the Texas weather radar showing storms near me?
Yes, the texas weather radar indicates active thunderstorms along a line from Wichita Falls to Austin. Check the live forecast above for your exact location, as cells are moving east at 40 km/h.
When will the cold front reach the Gulf Coast?
The front is forecast to reach Houston and Corpus Christi by late evening, dropping temperatures to around 15°C overnight. Coastal areas will see a sharp wind shift and possible squall lines.
How long will this cool spell last in north Texas?
Temperatures remain 10°C below normal through Thursday, then gradually recover to near 25°C by the weekend as high pressure builds. Frost is possible in the Panhandle on Wednesday morning.
