The next big weather system to impact Houston will arrive on New Year’s Day. Widespread rain showers are likely both Wednesday night and Thursday, but it now looks like the deepest moisture might remain just offshore, keeping rainfall totals closer to or less than 1″ in most neighborhoods. This will be a steady rain that could last several hours overnight Wednesday into Thursday.

Our first weekend of 2020 will be filled with sunshine, then we’ll be monitoring a stronger cold front coming down from Canada for the second week of January.
