One more shivering cold morning in Houston before the week warms up

Thursday’s forecast:

HOUSTON – We started the day with temperatures in the 30s again! No freeze alerts are in effect but temperatures ranged from the mid to upper-30s for all of SE Texas minus our coastal cities. This should be the last near freezing morning as we’ll start to see winds switching back a more southerly feel.

Friday’s forecast:

While still chilly, temperatures will not be nearly as cold as the past two mornings. We may even wake up to some light rain with cloudy skies.

Tracking rain:

I’m tracking three low pressure troughs/fronts that bring a likely chance of rain Saturday, Monday and Wednesday of next week. Wednesday’s cold front will drop temperatures again bringing back the cold air.

10-day Forecast:

A couple of things to point out. Sunday’s Texans game looks good for tailgating and has less than a 20% chance of rain. The official start of winter, the Winter Solstice is next Saturday.
