What a gorgeous weekend. Our run of sunny, winter-like weather will continue today and Tuesday before warming up this week.
MONDAY-TUESDAY
High pressure will keep things cool and sunny, with highs around 70 degrees, and overnight lows on Tuesday morning in the upper 40s. Basically, the weekend weather continues for a couple of more days.
WEDNESDAY-FRIDAY
After high pressure finally moves off to the east we’ll see a return flow from the Gulf of Mexico gradually build up. Skies will remain partly to mostly sunny, however, because there’s so little moisture to begin with over the Houston area.
Expect highs to rise from the mid-70s on Wednesday to the upper 70s to nearly 80 degrees on Friday. Overnight lows will rise from 50 degrees on Wednesday to nearly 70 degrees on Saturday morning.
NEXT WEEKEND
Ummm, who knows.
As moisture levels rise heading into the weekend a cold front and associated storm system will be moving down across Texas. But this could be another one of those slow moving fronts so the timing is tricky. For example, the GFS model brings the front through on Saturday evening, and the European model is about 24 hours later. Both models show some rain, although not multiple inches, and things do clear up pretty quickly after the front passes.
Temperatures will be fairly warm and muggy — for December — ahead of the front and quite a bit cooler behind it. Obviously we can’t yet rule out some rain or storms on Sunday afternoon and evening, so if you’re planning on tailgating for the Texans game hope for a quicker frontal passage.
ok Eric, a local big market newspaper is spreading rumors of snow on Christmas. It’s way to far out to think about that I know. And I know that article would never be printed by you, which is why I follow you here. No hype! Thanks!
