When Will Houston Get Its First Fall Cold Front? Here’s What History Shows 🍂

🍂 Houston’s first real taste of fall may still be weeks away, but the calendar is moving closer to the time of year when cooler air becomes more likely. Houston Chronicle meteorologist Justin Ballard explains how to define a true fall cold front, why a 15-degree temperature drop is a useful benchmark and when Houston typically experiences its first cooler stretch. He also breaks down how to spot an early-season front by watching overnight lows — and how El Niño could influence the timing of fall weather. A weak front may arrive early next week, but it is unlikely to bring a major change. For now, warmer-than-normal temperatures are favored through the end of September. 🌡️ Timestamps: 00:00 Houston’s first fall cold front may be weeks away 00:30 What counts as a true fall cold front? 00:45 Houston’s first fall weather is arriving later 01:27 How to identify the first signs of fall 02:10 What next week’s weak front could bring 03:12 How El Niño may affect fall weather 03:37 Why September will stay warm #HoustonWeather #TexasWeather #FallWeather #ColdFront #ElNino #WeatherForecast
