Arctic Blast Expected For The New Year

The next cold front to arrive in East Texas is likely to arrive with a strong push of Arctic air. The front will arrive during the day Sunday and push north to south through East Texas by Sunday night, making freezing rain a possibility in some areas. During New Year’s Day, we can expect blustery north winds to continue and temperatures will struggle to make it above freezing. As those winds calm down Monday night, temperatures will drop quickly with many places in East Texas possibly dropping below 20 degrees by early Tuesday morning.
