Houston residents can breathe a sigh of relief as sunshine takes the place of recent freezing temperatures starting this Saturday. According to the National Weather Service, the city will experience a calm and sunny day with an afternoon high approaching 53 degrees. A light south wind will grace the afternoon, providing a subtle shift to the crisp air.
Fans gearing up for the Texans game at NRG Stadium should come prepared for cooler weather. "Temperatures will be warming through the 40s and into the lower-50s," mentions Click2Houston, expectations are for game-time temperatures hovering around 52 degrees.
The outlook for Sunday brings a slight twist; a coastal low is set to move in, increasing cloud cover and bringing a 20 percent chance of rain showers, prominently south of I-10. "Forecast rainfall accumulations look to be between 0.5-1\" through the day," Click2Houston predicts. This weather shift will make for a mostly cloudy day with a high sticking close to Saturday’s 53 degrees.
The week ahead appears to maintain the seasonal cool, with a cold front expected to pass through on Sunday night. The front will lay the foundation for a dry period and usher in consistent highs in the 50s, beginning with a mostly sunny Monday. "Calm wind becoming south around 5 mph in the afternoon," says the National Weather Service. These conditions might prevail through the following weekend, with only a slight chance of showers come Friday.
Houston’s nighttime temperatures will rise from the low 40s to the upper 40s as the week progresses. Expect light winds, scattered clouds, and a chance of brief rain, with no major changes in the weather as mid-January approaches.
