Apart from dense morning fog in spots, there will be very few weather-related problems if you or your loved ones plan on traveling across the state of Texas through New Year’s Eve. And if you’re hoping for colder weather, a strong cold front is set to arrive the first weekend of 2022.
Here’s what you need to know:
WEDNESDAY & THURSDAY
- There won’t be much change to our weather on Wednesday: unseasonably warm with afternoon sun
- Thursday will still be a warm day, but humidity will be down slightly - especially in the morning
NEW YEAR’S EVE & NEW YEAR’S DAY
- It’ll still be very warm with highs near 80° both Friday and Saturday
- As we ring in 2022 Friday night, temperatures will be in the mid- to upper 60s and it will be muggy
STRONG COLD FRONT SOON
- A strong cold front will arrive late in the day Saturday
- This front will result in a significant temperature swing - from the low 80s on New Year’s Day to the 50s on January 2nd
FIRST FREEZE POTENTIAL
