According to the National Weather Service forecast for Houston, scattered showers and thunderstorms are possible Saturday before a brief stretch of warmer and generally drier weather Sunday and Monday.

Thanksgiving Holiday Travel Nov. 14 27: Rain or Snow in Texas? The early November showers and thunderstorms arrive ahead of the Thanksgiving holiday travel period, when changing weather conditions can become important considerations for motorists and airline passengers.
Thanksgiving falls Thursday, Nov. 26, but the available National Weather Service forecast for Houston extends only through Friday, Nov. 6.
That means the forecast does not establish whether rain, snow or dry conditions will affect Houston during the Nov. 14 27 holiday travel window.
No snowfall accumulation forecast or winter weather alert is included in the supplied information.
Although temperatures are expected to reach 82 degrees Sunday and Monday, that warmth does not establish what conditions will develop later in November.
