A nice weekend with two cold fronts on the way next week
HOUSTON, Texas (KTRK) -- After a few seasonal days with mild, cooler weather, a gulf breeze returns Sunday which will bring some humidity and boost temperatures quite a bit.
Temperatures Saturday night will only fall into the mid-upper 50s by Sunday morning. That's as winds pick up out of the south, and with an increase in humidity a spot shower is possible early in the day. We'll keep a few clouds throughout Sunday as well with high temperatures swinging back to the low 80s. Sunday forecast high of 83 degrees is one degree away from the daily record high temperature for November 24th of 84 degrees.
When is our next cold front?
Our next cold front arrives Monday night followed by a stronger cold front on Thanksgiving Day. The first front will pack a little more of a cooling punch than originally anticipated, so we'll cool off into the 50s Tuesday morning with highs struggling to get back into the 70s.
What is the outlook for Thanksgiving Day?
Everything hinges on the timing of the stronger cold front arriving on Thanksgiving Day, which remains uncertain this many days out. Right now it looks like we could be in for a warm start to Thanksgiving Day with temps in the 70s at sunrise then a cold finish with temps in the 50s at sunset. We'll continue to refine the timing and impacts as the holiday approaches. This does not look to be a significant rainmaker for us. For now we believe the front will offer up a 30% chance of showers and thunderstorms.
When could we get our first freeze in Houston?
Long range projections indicate that the earliest our first freeze could happen is the first week of December, but that is a low probability at this time. On average, Houston's first freeze occurs during the second week of December.
