Turkey day forecast + a rainy weekend ahead.

Turkey day forecast + a rainy weekend ahead. Happy Thanksgiving everyone! 🦃🍴 *We have a beautiful Thanksgiving Day ahead with sunny skies & highs in the 50s & 60s, topping out at 67° this afternoon. *Rain chances are on the increase this weekend with another cold front. *Another round of severe storms is possible late Saturday night with the passage of the front. *Right now, the conditions don't look to be nearly as ripe for tornadoes, but gusty winds and hail is a possibility. I'll update as we get closer to Saturday. *We will barely get out of the 50s on Monday with dreary skies. *AM temps will be in the 30s on Tues/Wed/Thursday but we're predicted to stay above freezing. ........ From Space City Weather: After an ideal Thanksgiving, Houston to face some weather swings. Eric Berger · Thursday, November 27, 2025 7:52 AM In brief: *In today's post, we look ahead to resplendent weather for the holiday, to be followed by brief warm-up this weekend before widespread showers and couple of shots of colder air. *Parts of Houston may hit the 30s later next week. Happy Thanksgiving! Just a relatively short post this morning due to the holiday-the Berger household has been up since 5:30 am working on smoking turkeys-but I wanted to share the latest on a fairly dynamic forecast. Fortunately we're not looking at any serious storms, but there is a healthy chance of rain this weekend, and then conditions turn quite a bit colder next weekend. So with this post we are going to hit the high notes. THANKSGIVING DAY - *As we've been saying for awhile now, weather today will be ideal for the holiday. *This morning's low temperature of 48 degrees at Bush Intercontinental Airport was bang-on for the normal temperature for this time of year and today's highs in the mid to upper 60s will be typical for this time in November (normal high, 69 degrees). *When you add in sunny skies, low humidity, and light winds, we have just exceptionally fine weather for a holiday. *Lows tonight will probably be a couple of degrees cooler than Wednesday night. *Think low 40s north of Houston, and upper 40s in Houston and further south. FRIDAY - *This will be a transition day, with partly sunny skies and highs in the upper 60s. *Winds will shift to come from the east-southeast, gusting up to 20 mph, or perhaps a bit higher. *Lows Friday night will only drop to around 60 degrees. SATURDAY - *The first half of the weekend will see rising temperatures, into the mid-70s, along with much more humid air. *I think Saturday morning will be mostly rain-free, with only some light showers as an exception. *However, later in the day rain chances increase with the advance of a cold front. *The best chances will occur later on Saturday evening and overnight when the front pushes through. *I'm hesitant to predict accumulations, but at this time I expect most of the area to pick up 0.5 to 1.5 inches of rain. There is a slight risk of excessive rainfall, but given the overall dryness of our soils I'm not too concerned about flooding. SUNDAY - *This will be a chilly day, with leaden skies. Highs probably will not rise out of the upper 50s. *Some rain chances will linger, but for the most part I just expect gray skies. *Lows on Sunday night will probably drop into the 40s. NEXT WEEK - *Monday should bring another shot of rainfall as what looks to be a reinforcing front moves in. *As a result the first day of December looks to be a dreary affair, with highs perhaps topping out in the low 50s. *We'll see our lowest temperatures next week, possibly in the 30s for parts of Houston, on Tuesday, Wednesday, and/or Thursday mornings. *At this point, most of our available evidence points toward temperatures remaining above freezing in the metro area, but we're going to keep an eye on things. Have a great holiday, everyone!
