A southwesterly wind ahead of our cold front will blow warm air into southeast Texas. We have a forecast high of 84° which would tie our record from 1989.

Thanksgiving Forecast:

A strong cold front is set to arrive early on Thanksgiving morning. Moisture appears limited, so for now, I’m forecasting a 20% chance of rain in the early morning hours.

Notice that there aren’t any bright colors on the futuretrack, meaning most of the showers that we see will be on the light side overall.

As you might expect, with a relatively dry front moving in, we won’t see much in the way of rainfall at all. Most of what is there will be long gone by the time you get rolling with your Thanksgiving plans. Just be mindful if you are heading to the downtown Houston parade extra early as some of the roads may still be a little wet.

If you are taking part in a Turkey Trot it will be cool and breezy. Temperatures slowly lower throughout the day.

Overall, it should be a very pleasant and seasonably cool holiday! Get out and enjoy it with your friends and family!

Black Friday:

The chill returns Friday, so early shoppers, take note! Temperatures will dip into the upper 40s when the doors open. Highs are in the 60s Friday through Tuesday of next week.

10-day Forecast:

Wednesday is our last day in the 80s for a while! Starting Thursday our highs are in the 60s with lows in the 40s! It looks like we will stay cool for a while, although the Weather Prediction Center indicates that SE Texas will be above average for temperatures during the month of December.

Many people hope that December means no more 80° days... but sadly that is not a guarantee. We’ve hit 85° several times in December and our record for Christmas Day is 83°. We’ve also had snowfall before on Christmas, but it is far too early for any Santa Claus forecasts.
