Another record breaking day ( IAH)Monday’s Forecast:

The warm, humid and foggy pattern continues as high pressure promotes an onshore flow. Watch for dense fog, that will lead to reduced visibility, especially near the coast each morning this week.

Monday will have highs once again in the 80s. There will be isolated to spotty showers, but not enough to wash anyone out or cool temperatures down.

We’re under the influence of a strong dome of high pressure that allows plenty of moisture in from the Gulf but not any cooler air to move into place.

Last minute shoppers, the warm and foggy pattern continues. While you grab the gifts on the Christmas list in the afternoon, temperatures will push towards 80.

Christmas Forecast:

We’re in store for one of the warmest Christmas’ that we’ve seen in quite some time! Afternoons will be pushing close to 80 each day after foggy mornings.

If we can hit 80, it’ll will be tied for the 3rd warmest Christmas ever! That’s quite a naughty list for us to be on but Santa better be ready with shorts and flip-flops this winter.

The next chance at a cooler temperatures doesn’t come until next Monday behind a cold front.
