A temperature rollercoaster this week with two cold fronts on the way
HOUSTON, Texas (KTRK) -- Houston was one degree away from a record-tying warm day Sunday, and we'll likely reach that mark on Monday.
Few clouds linger Monday morning with temperatures only falling into the mid 60s. This is thanks to the Gulf breeze that has brought back a little humidity and warmer temperatures. That paired with sunshine Monday should warm afternoon highs once again to near record levels across the region. Temperatures Monday afternoon will be in the low-mid 80s. Houston's record high temperatures for November 25th is 86 degrees, and we'll likely hit that mark Monday.
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 cooling punch, so we'll cool off into the 50s Tuesday morning with highs struggling to get back into the 70s. Th second front on Thanksgiving will likely be stronger, opening the door for much cooler temperatures heading into next weekend and early December.
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 with only a 20% chance for a few showers in the morning as the front passes through.
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.
