Clear and cold Thursday morning, then sunny, cool and dry

Seasonable December air has arrived in Houston and it looks like even colder air is on the way just before Christmas. Today looks nice with cool, dry air and highs in the 60s. Clouds return Friday through the weekend with chilly highs below 60 inland. Next week, there's a good chance for a blast of cold, windy weather for the days leading up to Christmas. The first widespread freeze of the season is likely.
