Cold front brings back winter's chill
HOUSTON, Texas (KTRK) -- We are done with the rain and fog now that the cold front has passed. Get ready for normal temps for a change.
How cool will it be now that the front has passed?
Our temperatures will be near normal for a change both Thursday and Friday. You'll need a jacket during the morning with temps starting out in the middle and upper 40s. A fully sunny day will allow our afternoon temps to rise to the middle 60s.
When will the next front arrive?
Another cold front will pass through the area Friday evening, just in time for the first day of winter which is Saturday. That front will give us our coldest weather of the next 10 days with lows in the lower 40s and highs around 60 this weekend.
What's the outlook for Christmas Day?
It's looking more likely that it'll be a mild Christmas here in Southeast Texas. At this time, we anticipate morning lows in the 50s and daytime highs in the 70s, with a partly cloudy sky bringing only a 20% chance for showers. The mild weather very well may continue all the way until the New Year.
When could we get our first freeze in Houston?
We see no signs of freezing temperatures in southeast Texas over the next 10 days. Long-range projections indicate we'll have to wait until the first half of January for a decent chance of a freeze in Houston. On average, Houston's first freeze occurs during the second week of December.
