But don’t worry - Santa will still be able to make it to your house!

Forecast:

We’re tracking another warm day on Tuesday ahead of the cold front that is expected to bring rain and the chance for thunderstorms in the overnight hours.

HOUSTONChristmas Eve: Tracking the chance for rain and thunderstorms Tuesday night into Wednesday morning.

While the front doesn’t look too menacing, it does appear to be arriving in time for ole Kris Kringle to fly presents across most of greater Houston. Current timing has us stormy through the overnight hours. This shouldn’t be a problem at all with Rudolph on Santa’s team - they’ve traveled through much worse.

The majority of the day will be warm, muggy and breezy with some light shower chances. Some of those storms could be strong or severe, bringing the chance for small hail and gusty winds Tuesday night into Wednesday morning.

If you’re headed to the Texans game on Wednesday - we have a slight chance for lingering showers but the forecast should turn sunny around noon with temperatures in the 70s.

Drying out by game time
10-day Forecast:

We will warm up this week which means there’s a 0% chance of seeing a white Christmas. Our temperatures look to stay above average as we approach the end of 2024.

A warm end to 2024

We’re still forecast to be below our warmest Christmas. Our warmest Christmas was 83° in 2015.
