Happy Friday to all! Hope yesterday was a good one for you. As a cool weather climate native, yesterday’s somewhat dreary weather was nice in my mind for Thanksgiving. But the sun is making a return appearance today, and that should yield a pretty nice day!
Fundraiser
We are in the final days of our annual fundraiser for the site. Thank you to those who have contributed thus far. If you are doing some Black Friday shopping from the comfort of your home or phone, please consider buying some merch or donating. We are greatly appreciative!
Today
The increasing sunshine today should allow temperatures to poke back up into the mid-60s across much of the area. It should be a delightful autumn day.
Weekend
Look for clouds to increase tomorrow, and there could be a shower or two south and west of Houston. A couple disturbances and some low-level moisture coming in off the Gulf will make for a decent cloud combo by later in the day on Saturday. We should still manage the 60s tomorrow after a morning in the 40s or 50s.
The best rain chance will actually come tomorrow night into early Sunday morning. The hope is that meaningful rain will clear in time for Texans tailgating, but it will be a bit of a close call. The heaviest rain will probably fall at the coast with this system. That said, we aren’t expecting more than a quarter-inch to half-inch of rain even there.
The rest of Sunday looks like a mostly cloudy, somewhat clammy day with highs in the low to mid-60s. Some lingering light rain or drizzle should end Sunday afternoon as a cold front sweeps in. Those of you attending or tailgating for the Dynamo playoff match Sunday evening should be fine. You’ll definitely need a jacket though with temps dropping into the 50s.
Next week
Break out the jackets for Monday. Back to work and school for many folks, and you’ll want to be ready with morning lows in the low-40s in Houston proper and 30s in the outlying areas.
We won’t get out of the 50s on Monday, followed up by an even colder start Tuesday. Morning lows will be in the 30s with some risk of a light freeze in far northern areas.
We’ll warm up steadily through the week back into the 60s on Tuesday and perhaps 70s by Friday or Saturday. Our next cold front is timed to sometime after next weekend. It does look like that will open up a more unsettled and potentially stormier weather pattern for us in the early days of December. We’ll have more on that next week.
Only 210 more days until summer.
a countdown for summer already? I thought people were wanting colder weather since the majority of the year is warm to hot?
Some people are never happy no matter what. People complain when it dosen’t rain, but when it does rain, they complain that it is rainy and muddy. Same with temperatures. All summer long people complain about the heat, but when the first cold front comes they are already ready for summer. You just can’t please some people lol
NO I love the heat, and don’t complain about it. But you’re correct: when the temperature is 55 you won’t see anyone out, but when it is 95, there are a lot of people out. Everyone loves the heat, and the summer.
Uh, no, not everyone loves the heat or a Houston summer. That’s such a ridiculous claim.
Crappy weather for Dickens On The Strand in Galveston next weekend sounds like..☹️
At least it’s pleasant compared to the hell we felt months ago. Good riddance and never come again, Summer 2023.
I love this weather! Rain or shine, I consider every single day a win that isn’t last summer’s weather. And the more rain the better.
Just bought my shirt! That $10 shipping and handling though is a bummer.
