Temperatures are expected to tumble quickly behind the front, dropping into the 60s and low 70s Sunday afternoon, then plunging into the 30s and 40s by Monday morning. Northern and western parts of Houston could flirt with their first light freeze of the season.
Temps will warm into the upper 80s to near 90 on Saturday afternoon, unusually warm for the first week of November. The cold front arrives in Houston around sunrise Sunday morning. That's when winds will shift to the north and increase to 15 to 30 miles per hour by early afternoon, with high temps only in the upper 60s.
A breezy Saturday ahead of an approaching cold front could bring high temperatures a degree or two warmer than Friday. This means a tied, or even broken, daily record is more likely. Could Saturday reach 90 degrees? It's absolutely possible, especially since Houston will be positioned in the warm sector of an approaching cold front.

Houston is enjoying a spectacular day — clear skies, bright sunshine, and that crisp early November air. Low humidity and sunshine will allow for a nice warmup after a cold morning. Look for afternoon highs in the upper 70s.
A "short and sharp" cold front is expected to push through the region this weekend, setting up noticeably cooler conditions by Monday night. Space City Weather's Eric Berger describes it as a "whiff of Arctic air"—not a deep freeze, but enough to bring a genuine taste of winter to Southeast Texas.
