BEAUMONT, Texas — It's either a trick or a treat (depending on how much you missed the cold weather). Southeast Texas is experiencing its coldest Halloween in 26 years!
A FREEZE WARNING has been issued for Tyler and northern Jasper and Newton counties from 4-8 a.m. Friday.
This warning does not include Beaumont.
All of Southeast Texas will be under a FROST ADVISORY overnight Friday.
Temperatures are plunging as the little ghouls and goblins get ready for Trick-or-Treating Thursday night. The mercury will drop into the low 50s to mid 40s during the peak of Trick-or-Treating.
It will be the coldest Halloween night Southeast Texas has seen since 1993.
A strong cold front blasted through the area Wednesday night bringing in the coldest air of the season.
That cold front also brought severe weather to Southeast Texas Tuesday.
Strong thunderstorms with damaging winds hit Hardin County the hardest. Silsbee and Kountze saw power knocked out to thousands.
There were numerous reports of roof damage. Kountze Intermediate School had part of its roof ripped off by powerful winds.
The good news for Trick-or-Treating Thursday, the rain has moved out and skies will be clear for the little Ghoul and Goblins.
Friday morning will see lows in the 30s, which sparked that frost advisory.
The frost advisory includes Jefferson, Hardin, Orange, Hardin, Tyler, Jasper and Newton counties. The advisory lasts from midnight to 8 a.m. Friday.
And it's going to be a 'hot chocolate' kind of night for the Friday night 409Sports Blitz!

The air stays fairly cool over the weekend. Both Saturday and Sunday mornings will see temps drop into the lower 40's with afternoon highs only in the lower 60's.
