HOUSTON, Texas (KTRK) — We’re starting off your Saturday with mostly cloudy skies and temperatures in the mid 40s. By the afternoon, clouds should be moving out allowing for sun to return and highs to rise into the mid 60s!
Patchy dense fog moves in Sunday morning but should burn off by mid morning yielding to mostly sunny skies. Highs should top out in the low 70s. Another cold front moves in during the second half of the day Sunday which will cool us down for the start of the next work week.
What’s in store for the weekend?
Some sunshine! Eventually. Saturday will start off cloudy and chilly in the 40s. There could even be a few lingering light rain showers in the morning, especially near the coast. Then a light southeasterly breeze will start to push in milder Gulf air and help break up the clouds. With sunshine returning in the afternoon, temperature should warm into the 60s. Sunday morning will start off milder in the 50s, and the mostly sunny sky should warm temperatures into the low 70s for most locations. Another round of cold air arrives late Sunday, but this front passes through dry and clears out the sky for most of next week.
How cold will it get with the next cold front?
Because the front clears out the sky and keeps the sunshine around, highs will be in the 60s and 70s, but it will cold in the 30s and 40s at night. In fact, frost looks to be possible in parts of Southeast Texas on Tuesday morning.
When could we get our first freeze?
Long range signals indicate we probably have to wait until the second half of December for a chance of freezing weather in Houston, especially with the warm up on the way next week. On average, Houston historically gets its first freeze during the second week of December. This year it looks like we have to wait a bit longer.
