After a week without rainfall, the region will see some decent rain chances over the next several days. That’s not to say we are going to see a total washout, but there’s the potential for a solid 1 to 2 inches of rainfall between now and next Wednesday, with isolated areas seeing a little more. Let’s take a more detailed look at the forecast.
Thursday
Today will be the last day with a near zero chance of rainfall, even as a cold front moves through later on this afternoon. Look for partly to mostly cloudy skies, with a high temperature in the mid- to upper-60s. This is pretty typical weather for December.
Friday
After the front we may see some scattered showers tonight, with rain chances best to the south of Houston, from Galveston down the coast to Matagorda Bay. Most likely, central parts of Houston won’t see much if any rain on Thursday night and Friday morning. The day itself will be cold, with highs likely remaining in the 50s under mostly cloudy skies. Overnight lows on Friday will fall into the low 40s for most of Houston, with upper 30s for inland areas in Montgomery County, and warmer conditions along the coast.
