Houstonians can expect more typical December weather as the week ends. Today will be sunny with a high of 65 degrees and a light north wind that will calm by afternoon. Tonight will be mostly clear with a low around 48 degrees, according to the National Weather Service.

The weather for the weekend, marking the start of winter on Saturday, is expected to be "perfect weather," with sunny skies and temperatures in the 60s. Thursday morning will be cool, with temperatures in the 30s and 40s, but it will warm up by the afternoon. Looking ahead, Houston will have a mild Christmas with highs around 72 degrees, much warmer than the 83-degree record set in 2015, as reported by the National Weather Service and Click2Houston.

The outlook for Christmas is dry with no snow expected and mild temperatures. Early next week will be partly sunny with highs near 70 degrees. Tuesday could bring a 30 percent chance of showers and thunderstorms, with lows around 58 degrees. "However, the forecast will likely adjust over the next few days so expect to see some changes as we get new information," as stated by Click2Houston.
