This morning in Texas, we’re dealing with clouds, fog, and drizzle – not the prettiest start. Thunderstorms from yesterday have moved well east of the state, and today is expected to be less active in terms of weather. Most of Texas will remain relatively warm this afternoon, as there wasn’t a significant change in the air mass with yesterday’s system. Tonight, we’ll begin to prepare for our next weather system, with light showers, drizzle, and mist likely across the eastern three-quarters of the state.

After sunrise on Saturday, isolated to scattered storms may develop along the Upper Texas Gulf Coast, the Golden Triangle, and Southeast Texas. We need to keep an eye on these storms for any potential severe weather, but hopefully, they will remain manageable. The main activity is expected to begin early Saturday afternoon, with showers and storms increasing in coverage across the eastern third of Texas. Additionally, a line of showers and storms is likely to form east of Interstate 35 in North Texas. As was the case yesterday, this activity will move from west to east and exit Texas around 7 PM Saturday. Some storms in the line, as well as isolated storms ahead of the squall line in Far East Texas, may become strong to severe, with the possibility of large hail, localized damaging winds, and perhaps even a tornado
.
A more significant severe weather threat is anticipated tomorrow in Louisiana, Mississippi, and Alabama, and we will need to monitor the activity closely as it approaches the Louisiana state line, as it may intensify.
Heading into the New Year
After the storms on Saturday across the eastern quarter of Texas, we should experience a quieter weather pattern through the end of the year. Above-average to near-record high temperatures are expected on Sunday and Monday before a cold front brings us back down to seasonal averages for New Year’s Eve and New Year’s Day. No significant rain is expected with the cold front, but we may see some rain return to the southern third of Texas on Wednesday, January 1st.
