From Space City Weather: Jack Frost nipping at your nose as our chilly December continues. Eric Berger · Monday, December 8, 2025 6:54 AM 👉 In brief: *Following a brief warm-up this weekend, Houston's temperatures are back on the cooler side this morning. *We're going to be cold for about 48 hours before the second half of this week is warmer and quite mild for December. *By the weekend the forecast turns more uncertain. 👉 December, one week in - It has certainly felt festive during the first week of winter in Houston. *On Sunday, just as temperatures started to warm up a bit, another front blew into the region dropping the mercury precipitously. *Through the first seven days of the month, the city's average temperature of 50.8 degrees is nearly 7 degrees below normal for early December. *We will now experience a couple of more chilly days before temperatures moderate in the middle of the week (and so it goes with roller coaster weather) which is often the norm in Houston during December as we are whipsawed between fronts and then the returning flow from a still warm Gulf. *Will this much colder pattern hold? Probably not. *In he big picture, it does seem like the first week of December will end up being colder, on average, than the middle of the month. 👉 MONDAY - Today will be the coldest of the week. *Highs will struggle to climb out of the upper 50s and there will be a chilly northerly breeze throughout the day. *Mostly cloudy skies this morning will give way to clearing skies later today, such that we will end up with a fair amount of sunshine. *Winds will die down this evening, and with clear skies we'll see ideal conditions for cooling. *Much of the area surrounding Houston, and away from the coast, will drop into the upper 30s, with a light freeze possible in parts of Montgomery and Waller counties. 👉 TUESDAY - *This will be a sunny day, with highs in the low 60s. *Winds will shift to come from the south on Tuesday, beginning an onshore flow. *I still expect lows to drop into the upper 40s on Tuesday night. 👉 WEDNESDAY, THURSDAY, AND FRIDAY - *These all look to be pleasant days with highs generally in the 70s and lows in the 50s. *Skies will be sunny to mostly sunny with winds generally light. SATURDAY AND SUNDAY - *Our weather this weekend will be determined by whether a front makes it into the region, and frankly it's not at all clear what will happen. *I think it is more likely than not some sort of front does make it in by Sunday, but I would really like to see some consistency before making a forecast. *For now I'll predict highs around 70 degrees on Saturday, and in the 60s on Sunday, but I don't feel great about it. *We'll probably see a mix of sunshine and clouds, but again that is dependent on what happens with the front. Rain chances are low, but perhaps not zero. 👉 NEXT WEEK - *Unfortunately, the forecast for next week is similarly muddled. *There are scenarios in which the early part of next week is in the 70s, and there are outcomes in which we get some rain and a significantly cooler front drives into Houston in the Monday or Tuesday time frame. For now I'm going to just say let's wait and see.
