Houstonist Weather Watch - 12/11 - Get out the flip flops

Today and Tomorrow
Best chance of a thunderstorm is today through midday Tuesday, though only a 30% to 40% probability of such a thing happening. It might be a smart idea to bring an umbrella with you if you're going to be outside, but leave the galoshes behind. Hights in the mid 70s and lows dropping to near 50 F by Tuesday night.

Wednesday Night through Friday
Much of the same with highs in the lower 70s and lows in the lower 50s. You'd almost think it was spring outside with the near perfect weather. A slight chance of rain on Wednesday, though we can't reccomend holding your breath.

The Weekend
Keep an eye to the forecast as there's a chance of rain if all the right pieces fall into place. Hopefully, they won't and we'll just have party cloudy skies with lows in the mid 50s and a high hovering around 70 F.
