Texas – The streets glisten under streetlights this morning across Houston as low clouds hold steady, hinting at scattered showers still nearby. A cool 45°F breeze filters through the city, but change is on the horizon. Rain chances fade by tonight, opening the door to a warmer, sunnier weekend that feels more like late fall than early winter.
According to the National Weather Service Houston/Galveston office, a weak front continues to slide south through the metro area today, bringing a 40% chance of light rain through early afternoon. Highs will linger near 50°F, but skies begin to clear late in the day as winds ease and shift from north to southeast. By Saturday, sunshine dominates, and highs climb into the mid-60s, a welcome break for those planning outdoor shopping or community holiday events.
Sunday looks even better — mostly sunny with highs near 70°F, ideal for decorating, grilling, or enjoying a walk along Buffalo Bayou. Mornings stay crisp, with lows in the mid-40s, but the trend points steadily upward into next week.
Early December warmth returns full-force Monday and Tuesday, with highs in the mid-60s to low 70s, calm winds, and low humidity. For travelers across I-45, I-10, and Beltway 8, conditions remain excellent through midweek.
After a damp start, Houston heads into one of its most pleasant stretches of early December weather yet — mild, bright, and comfortable.
