Houstonians can expect a warm and pleasant weekend, with daytime temperatures reaching a comfortable 71 degrees. According to the National Weather Service, sunny skies are expected today, along with light northerly winds around 5 mph.
The pleasant conditions are expected to persist into the evening, with mostly clear skies and temperatures dropping to around 47 degrees. Winds will remain calm, and Saturday is forecast to be another sunny day with highs near 73 degrees. A slight shift in the wind to southeasterly may indicate a change as the weekend continues.
Click2Houston reports in line with the favorable forecast, noting that "Tomorrow afternoon will be perfect. Winds will be calm with sunny skies and low humidity. Highs will only warm to the lower-70s." The rest of the weekend will follow the same trend, with mostly sunny skies and a high near 80 degrees on Sunday. Monday is expected to be slightly warmer, with temperatures reaching around 83 degrees, marking the start of a gradual warm-up.
While temperatures will remain cool in the 40s during the early part of the night, they will warm up quickly under the Texas sun. By Tuesday, Houston is forecast to have mostly sunny conditions with a high near 78 degrees. As Thanksgiving approaches, there is a 20 percent chance of rain, though the majority of the day will see mostly clear skies.
With a cold front expected next week, "timing on the mid-week front will be critical as to how either warm or cool we’ll be for the holiday," according to Click2Houston. Although the exact timing of the cold front is still uncertain, residents can expect fair weather to persist as they prepare for Thanksgiving gatherings.
