As we move into 2025, Houston residents should be aware of a potential cold weather system heading our way. According to recent meteorologist reports, a significant Arctic air mass could affect Houston in early January. At John Moore Services, we want to ensure our community is prepared for weather challenges.

What's Coming Our Way?

Weather experts are tracking a phenomenon known as the polar vortex – a circular jet stream that typically keeps frigid Arctic air contained in northern regions. When this system weakens, it can allow extremely cold air to push southward into the United States. Current temperatures in the Arctic are particularly cold, with some areas reporting as low as -40°F, indicating the potential for significant cold air movement.

Timeline and Impact

Computer models suggest a major cold air mass could affect parts of the United States between January 8-12, 2025. While the most severe impacts are expected in the Great Lakes and North Central Plains regions, Houston may experience below-normal temperatures during this period. Currently, forecasts indicate temperatures will remain above freezing during daylight hours in our area, but this could change as we get closer to the event.
