Saturday weather forecast with Meteorologist Lena Maria Arango
Good news for the last weekend before Christmas, which is always a busy one! Aside from seasonably cold temperatures, the weather will be quiet and cooperative. Monday is a washout pretty much start to finish, so allow for extra time to get around town. Midweek will be quiet, but a strong cold front will drag down a potent dose of arctic air on Thursday. Once we fall below freezing Thursday night, many locations may not rise above that until Saturday afternoon. Think ahead and begin hard freeze preps now, especially if you'll be out of town during that time period.

Saturday morning weather forecast
Spotty rain is possible this evening and tonight as a reinforcing front moves through the area. Rain should taper off tonight with just a slim shot for an isolated shower over the weekend. It will be cooler this weekend with highs in the 50s and overnight lows in the 30s and 40s. In fact, some of you may get close to freezing by Sunday morning. At least the weekend is mainly dry before widespread rain returns for Monday. Big story next week leading up to Christmas will be the major cold blast expected with a strong front Thursday. That means a widespread hard freeze likely by next Friday morning and temps about 30 degrees below normal Friday afternoon! Prepare now for the expected freezing conditions! Protect your pipes, plants, pets and of course yourself and loved ones!

Cloudy Friday afternoon with light, spotty showers
A few showers will be around tonight into tomorrow, and then the weekend is looking mostly dry but chilly. Sunday morning will be cold, keep that in mind if you'll be tailgating for the Texans or out and about early. Late Sunday through early Tuesday widespread rain is expected as a coastal low move across the area. Then get ready for a serious dose of cold air behind our next front, which will be dry but strong enough to pull in a blustery shot of north pole air just in time for Christmas.

Friday weather forecast
Our weather is going to give us a bumpy ride over the next two weeks, so get ready. Watch for a few light showers today and tomorrow with seasonably cool temps. Some areas could reach the low 30s Sunday morning. Monday looks like a washout, then we turn our attention to an arctic blast that will move into the US for the middle of next week which could bring us the coldest air since the big freeze of 2021.

Cool, chilly Thursday afternoon in the 60s
Cold mornings and cool afternoons will be the norm across southeast Texas this week.

Sunday night through Tuesday morning also looks fairly soggy, with a steady blanket of light to moderate rain courtesy of a coastal low. A few light and spotty showers are also possible overnight Friday as we head into the weekend, but the afternoons look mostly dry if you'll be out and about!
