A strong cold front will sweep through overnight while most of us are sleeping, bringing a festive chill just in time for Thanksgiving Day.
At sunrise, expect temperatures to be in the mid-50s under cloudy skies, accompanied by gusty north winds reaching over 30 mph. With clouds lingering throughout most of the day, temperatures will struggle to climb, topping out in the low 60s. There’s a 20% chance of a passing shower overnight, decreasing to just a 10% chance during the day.
Will the cooler weather stick around through the weekend?
Yes, it will! Lovely weather is expected Friday through the weekend, with lows in the 40s, highs in the 60s, and plenty of sunshine filtered through thin cirrus clouds.
When could we see more widespread rain?
A low-pressure system is likely to develop off the Texas coastline early next week, bringing a good chance of rain Tuesday and Wednesday. Showers could linger into Thursday and Friday as well. Current projections suggest most areas will see around an inch of rain, with higher amounts closer to the coast. The exact rainfall totals and duration will depend on the system’s formation and path.
When might Houston experience its first freeze?
There are no indications of freezing weather in the next 10 days. Long-term forecasts show only a low chance of a freeze during the first half of December. Historically, Houston’s first freeze typically occurs during the second week of December.
