Seasonal and sunny Friday ahead of major warmup for Christmas week

HOUSTON, Texas (KTRK) — It’s going to feel more like December again on Friday with morning lows in the 40s and afternoon highs in the 60s. This happens under a sunny sky with low humidity. Don’t get too used to it because a massive warmup is on the way starting this weekend.

What weather can we expect this weekend?

Saturday starts off cool in the upper 40s and low 50s, then the temperature rockets up toward 80 degrees on a strong southwest wind. We’ll get plenty of sunshine on Saturday, but Sunday brings the return of sea fog and higher humidity. Temperatures will only drop into the upper 60s for lows, then arm into the low 80s in the afternoon, very close to the record high of 82. There’s also a 30% chance of showers.

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.
