In spite of the fact that our November temperatures have run about five degrees cooler than normal so far, the month is sure wrapping up on a warm note. Our forecast calls for a mostly sunny afternoon with high temps in the upper 70s, putting us nearly a dozen degrees above average for this date.

As a result of the higher humidity in the air, clouds will get thicker tonight and there might be another round of fog and drizzle developing before daybreak. If you travel during the early hours, make sure you factor in the chance for some roadway delays due to lowered visibility. And it might be a little slick, too, yet we really don't expect much accumulation.
Our in-house computer model shows a primarily cloudy sky tomorrow with hit-or-miss showers between the coast and Austin. It's a 20% chance for rain overall, including what could be a few very brief rumbles of thunder around midnight Friday night.
Then the humidity will drop for the upcoming weekend and it's looking really, really nice out there. We can thank a rather weak Pacific cold front, which is currently timed to arrive between midnight Friday night and sunrise Saturday morning for the comfortable outlook.
It'll be breezy for the first half of the weekend but the westerly wind will be quite dry, with skies clearing out to sunshine. Plan for morning 50s and afternoon 70s both Saturday and Sunday. Not a bad first weekend of December!
A more notable, polar cold front will then sweep through Texas early Monday morning, bringing chill more typical of the season across the area. It, too, looks to arrive without much -- if any -- rainfall in tow. We might have to wait until the end of next week for another heavy round of showers & storms.
