Right here’s the quick reply up entrance: Most likely. Barring some form of an surprising, freakishly chilly entrance coming by means of within the subsequent few weeks, we’re completed.
Now, for an extended reply. Crazier issues have occurred. Houston’s newest ever recorded freeze got here on April 10, 1973. Nevertheless, the chances are towards this. For areas south of Interstate 10, we’re already previous the “common” date of the area’s final freeze, and we’re quick approaching that date for areas alongside and north of Interstate 10. For areas additional inland, comparable to Conroe, the everyday date of the final freeze is available in late February.
After a entrance strikes by means of early tomorrow, we’re going to see a few days of colder climate. Some far inland areas, together with Conroe, have an opportunity of seeing a light-weight freeze on Friday and Saturday mornings. However after that? We glance to be close to or above regular, by way of temperatures, for the remainder of February. So I’d be stunned if it froze once more. For areas alongside and south of Interstate 10, I’d put the possibility of one other freeze this season at 10 p.c or much less. For the northern half of the metro space, it’s in all probability about 25 p.c, or much less.
