We Won't Get Much of a Summer Relief This Winter in Texas

I want you to think back to the week before Valentine's Day in February of 2021 in East Texas. Yes, those nightmarish images of snow and ice along with temperatures that hovered around zero and even got below zero at night.

It wasn't fun for any of us warm weather-enjoying folks, like myself, who are freezing when it drops into the 50s. What can we expect for the winter of 2024-2025 in East Texas? Let's see what the Farmer's Almanac has to say.

Will We See Snowmageddon II?

For the 2024-2025 winter in Texas, the not-always-accurate Farmer's Almanac sees the potential for a disappointing season for those who love the cold and snow. There will be some cold days but nothing too extreme or that will last for any extended period.

Winter Forecast for East Texas

Overall, the Farmer's Almanac is forecasting above-normal temperatures with below-normal precipitation. This is because of the La Nina over the Pacific Ocean. We won't see the coldest temperatures of winter until late January or early February.

The short-term forecast calls for a couple of cold fronts to move through this week. Those fronts will bring rain and somewhat cooler temperatures. By cooler, I mean highs in the 80s and lows in the upper 60s.

So a relatively mild winter for us is on the horizon.
