Texas — Morning light breaks over Houston with a soft golden glow and a touch of humidity — a calm, comfortable start before one of the year’s busiest travel days. The air is crisp for late November, with skies clearing fast and a gentle north breeze carrying that subtle, seasonal coolness Texans recognize as early winter’s tease.
The National Weather Service in Houston reports sunny, mild weather across the region through Thanksgiving Day, offering nearly perfect conditions for travel or family gatherings. Temperatures will rise into the mid-60s by Thursday afternoon, while light northeast winds keep the air dry and pleasant. Whether you’re traveling on I-10, I-45, or Highway 59, roads will remain clear and skies bright through late Thursday night.
By Friday, the atmosphere begins to shift. Clouds will increase, and a 30% chance of showers arrives after midnight, building into a stronger round of rain and possible thunderstorms on Saturday. Afternoon highs will hover in the upper 60s to lower 70s, but rising humidity will make it feel heavier and unsettled. Those heading out for Black Friday shopping or early weekend plans should carry rain gear and keep an eye on radar updates.
Rain chances linger into Sunday and Monday, marking a more unsettled close to the weekend. Behind that system, forecasters are watching a sharp temperature drop likely the first week of December, signaling the arrival of an Arctic front that could stretch well into Texas.
Now’s the time to finish outdoor chores or early decorating before showers move in — and before winter’s chill pushes farther south.
