Notice that there aren’t any bright colors on the futuretrack, meaning most of the showers that we see will be on the light side overall.

As you might expect, with a relatively dry front moving in, we won’t see much in the way of rainfall at all. Most of what is there will be long gone by the time you get rolling with your Thanksgiving plans. Just be mindful if you are heading to the downtown Houston parade extra early as some of the roads may still be a little wet.

Saturday’s Forecast:

For the first time in over a decade the Lone Star Showdown is back! The Texas Longhorns are coming to College Station to take on the Aggies. Our weather will be very seasonal for late November and should feel wonderful.

The tailgate forecast is terrific. Temperatures will be in the 60s through the afternoon with low humidity and partly cloudy skies. Sunset is at 5:24PM on Saturday and we’ll see temperatures cool down efficiently.

By game time the temperatures will drop to the mid-50s. Weather should not be an impact to the game as winds will be calm and there is zero chance for precipitation.

If you are planning to stand at Kyle Field for the game, definitely pack a jacket! Temperatures will be dropping to the lower-50s and upper-40s by the end of the game!

10-day Forecast:

Starting Thursday our highs are in the 60s with lows in the 40s! It looks like we will stay cool for a while, although the Weather Prediction Center indicates that SE Texas will be above average for temperatures during the month of December.

Many people hope that December means no more 80° days... but sadly that is not a guarantee. We’ve hit 85° several times in December and our record for Christmas Day is 83°. We’ve also had snowfall before on Christmas, but it is far too early for any Santa Claus forecasts.

Seasonably cool start to December
