HOUSTON, Texas (KTRK) — More sunshine on tap for much of southeast Texas as we head into the first half of your work week.
Temperatures Monday afternoon reached the low 70s and they’ll be back at that mark for Tuesday. A few high level clouds can’t be ruled out, but again it’s a predominantly sunny day. And while we’ll have these nice warm afternoons all week long, don’t forget that mornings will be quite cool with temperatures in the mid 40s through Thursday.
How is the first week of December looking?
Actually it’s looking quite nice! After a stormy start to the month, we’ve entered a drier stretch that could last all the way through next Friday. And while this weekend is a bit cloudy and damp, more sunshine is expected as we head into the new week.
I missed out on the soaking rains for the storms last week. When will the rain return?
By next weekend we’ll see enough moisture back to bring rain back into the forecast. Forecast models are showing the next potential rainy weather system entering the region by Saturday. While that wouldn’t be the best timing, we could use some rain after an almost week-long dry spell.
Wait, did y’all say winter has begun?
Of sorts, yes! Meteorological Winter began at midnight on December 1st. We differentiate meteorological seasons vs astronomical seasons to help us organize weather data since the start of each astronomical season can vary each year by time and date. So meteorological seasons will always begin on the first of the month when there’s either an equinox (fall or spring) or solstice (winter or summer). This year Astronomical Winter begins on Thursday, December 21st at 9:27 p.m.
