HOUSTON, Texas (KTRK) — We’ve got a lot of weather changes coming this weekend as a major pattern change brings record warmth for Christmas week.
Saturday started off cool with temps in the 40s and low 50s, but with plentiful sunshine and southerly winds the temps are heating up toward record highs in the low 80s this afternoon. You’ll notice the moisture levels climbing throughout the day. We’ll get plenty of sunshine on Saturday, but Sunday brings the return of sea fog, rain clouds, and higher humidity. Temperatures will only drop into the upper 60s for lows, then warm into the upper 70s and low 80s in the afternoon…for most. There is a weak, sneaky cool front that may slip in to communities northwest of Houston. Where that happens, temperatures will be stuck in the 50s and 60s under a cloudy sky. There’s a 30% chance of light showers, drizzle, and mist.
Is it still looking warm for Christmas week?
Yep. December’s version of a heat ridge will park it over Texas for the week of Christmas. This will push highs toward record levels in the low 80s just about every day of the week. Bah humbug!
Are there any more freezes in the forecast?
Not for awhile! We are looking at above average low temperatures all the way through Christmas Day…and beyond. It’s hard to get a freeze when lows only drop into the 60s. We do have a cold front penciled in for the closing days of 2025, but we likely have to wait until January for our next chance at a freeze.
