Houston Braces for Weather Whiplash, Near-Record Heat Before Thanksgiving Cold Snap

Residents of Houston are preparing for a diverse range of weather conditions throughout the next week. Click2Houston reports that near-record temperatures are expected just days before a spectacular Thanksgiving cold front. The city, which is notorious for its heat and humidity, is predicted to have highs of around 80 degrees today along with strong gusts of south winds that might reach 20 mph.

Fans who are tailgating for the Houston Texans game today should anticipate comfortable weather when they enter NRG Stadium, with highs in the 70s. However, according to Click2Houston, meteorologists are keeping a careful eye on the skies because tomorrow’s high of 82 degrees is predicted to beat the 1910 record of 84 degrees. Dry weather is predicted, making it ideal for any planned outside activities.

The National Weather Service predicted that Tuesday would have largely sunny skies with a high of almost 71 degrees. However, a powerful cold front that is expected to strike Houston on Thanksgiving Day could disturb the calm of the week. According to forecasts, temperatures will drop sharply in the aftermath of the front, reaching a low of about 46 degrees on Thursday evening.

Be ready for the cold if you’re going to partake in the ancient custom of Black Friday shopping; early morning sales will be accompanied by temps that drop into the high 40s to lower 50s. Click2Houstons emphasizes that there is a bright side despite the bitter cold: there is only a “30% chance of rain” on Thanksgiving Day. This serves as a stark reminder of the approaching winter season and a stark contrast to the pleasant days preceding the holiday.

The weather serves as a reminder of Houston’s constantly shifting climate trends as residents make their way through the week, from bright and sunny days to notably cooler Thanksgiving and Black Friday.
