After a couple of chilly days, wet weather returns with weekend warm up
HOUSTON, Texas (KTRK) -- After a couple of chilly days, it turns warmer and wetter for the weekend.
Sunshine will be replaced with clouds building from the Gulf Thursday afternoon. Temperatures will warm in the mid to upper 60s. As onshore winds increase over the area on Friday, temperatures will return to above normal levels.
How much warmer will it be on Friday?
Friday morning will be considerably warmer than Thursday morning with lows only in the mid 50s. It will stay fairly cloudy through the day keeping highs in the upper 60s. A few showers are possible as the southeast wind brings back the clouds and moisture. Sea fog is likely to develop at some point on Friday along the coast.
What's in store for the weekend?
This weekend will be considerably warmer than last weekend. Instead of temperatures in the 40s and 50s all weekend, we'll enjoy highs in the 70s both Saturday and Sunday. That said, there is a 40% chance of showers and thunderstorms on Saturday, but only a 20% chance for isolated showers on Sunday. Lows both days will only be in the 60s.
When could we get our first freeze in Houston?
While some outside of Houston could get a light freeze overnight, Houston will likely miss out. After Thursday morning, we see no signs of freezing temperatures over the next 10 days in Southeast Texas. Long range projections indicate we'll have to wait until the last days of December for a decent chance of a freeze. On average, Houston's first freeze occurs during the second week of December.
