After a frosty morning, we warm up this week

Good morning. Well, it’s sure chilly out there, with lows in the mid-30s across most of Houston, and freezing temperatures along and north of Highway 105. The cold blast won’t last, however.

TODAY

Under mostly sunny skies highs should warm into the 60s today. It should be really pleasant out by noon and during the entire afternoon. By this evening, with high pressure moving off to the east, winds will veer around to come out of the south. That will begin to increase moisture levels.

TUESDAY-WEDNESDAY

After another cool morning in the 40s on Tuesday, we’ll see highs jump into the 70s on Tuesday and Wednesday, with partly to mostly cloudy skies. Despite the increasing moisture levels, there will only be very slight rain chances due to a capping inversion in the atmosphere.

Very cold to start the week, almost balmy by Thanksgiving

After a very warm first three weeks of November this year Houston plunged into the mid- to upper-30s on Sunday morning. For the first time this season it really felt like winter out. Highs today will only be in the mid-50s.

With clear skies and dry air, conditions tonight will favor even colder weather, with a freeze likely for northern parts of the metro area. Here’s where the National Weather Service believes that is most likely to occur:
