DISCUSSION

Issued at 1010 PM CST Sun Dec 7 2025

A cold front that pushed through Sunday afternoon has ushered in chilly, breezy conditions for the region. A Wind Advisory is in effect for the Barrier Islands through around sunrise Monday where wind gusts of up to 30 mph will be possible. While mostly cloudy skies will prevail through Monday morning, skies will clear out by the early afternoon hours. High temperatures will be in the mid to upper 50s north of I-10, and then upper 50s to low 60s along and south of I-10. Clear skies and light winds will lead to temperatures dropping into the mid to upper 30s for most of the region with the coast/Houston Metro staying in the low to mid 40s and the Piney Woods dropping to near freezing.

There will be a gradual warm-up through midweek as high pressure slides over the area and then to the east ushering in a southerly flow. High temperatures on Tuesday will be in the low to mid 60s, then low to mid 70s on Wednesday, and then mid to upper 70s (and even some low 80s possible south of I-10) on Thursday. There is potential of another cold front passing through the region late week or this weekend, however guidance has been very uncertain on the timing.
