Good morning. After about 10 days of a lot colder climate, Houston will quickly return to hotter situations to finish the yr 2022. In the present day, in actual fact, would be the final chilly day of the yr, after which highs within the 70s will persist into early 2023. We additionally could have two intervals of rainfall in the course of the coming week, however I feel we’ll handle to squeeze out some honest situations for the New Yr’s vacation in between.
Tuesday
Lows have fallen to freezing, or close to freezing, alongside and north of Interstate 10 this morning, however areas nearer to the coast are usually within the higher 30s to round 40 levels. Skies shall be sunny in the present day, with highs within the mid-50s. A very powerful change will come later in the present day, as excessive strain slides eastward, and our winds take a extra southerly flip. This may mark a definitive finish to the Nice Christmas Cooldown of 2022. Lows tonight will drop into the low 40s in Houston.
Wednesday
Skies shall be largely sunny on Wednesday, with highs within the low 70s. Winds shall be notable, out of the south at 10 to fifteen mph, with gusts as much as 25 mph. By Wednesday night time we’ll see low temperatures falling simply into the 60s, with a slight risk of some fog.
Thursday and Friday
The top of this week seems to be moist, as growing moisture ranges from the southerly movement mix with an atmospheric disturbance to supply a wholesome likelihood of rain. These must be largely cloudy days, with highs within the low 70s. Rain probabilities look greatest on Thursday and Thursday night time, however an opportunity will persist via the day on Friday. Total accumulations look higher for the jap half of Houston, however I count on a lot of the area to see no less than 1 inch of rain, with some areas seeing 2 or extra inches.
Saturday and Sunday
Fortuitously, it seems to be like a weak entrance will clear issues out for the vacation weekend. Proper now I’m penciling in highs within the low to-mid-70s on New Yr’s Eve, with partly to largely sunny skies, and lows dropping into the higher 50s to 60 levels by round midnight. Rain likelihood is fairly low, which is sweet information for revelers. Skies on New Yr’s Day will seemingly be partly sunny, with highs within the mid-70s. All in all, the flip into 2023 seems to be pretty gentle.
Subsequent week
The weak entrance received’t final lengthy, and in some unspecified time in the future I count on clouds to return on New Yr’s Day. This return of moisture will set the stage for one more moist interval—most probably on Monday January 2, however some uncertainty stays. This might simply carry one other 1 to three inches of rain to the area earlier than a entrance brings some reasonably cooler and drier air into the area.
