CYPRESS, TEXAS — Residents are in for a rare treat this Thanksgiving as a cold front settles over Southeast Texas, bringing crisp fall weather, cooler temperatures, and clearer skies just in time for the holiday. After a warm and rainy start to the week, Cypress will experience one of its chilliest Thanksgiving Days in recent years, according to forecasts from the National Weather Service (NWS) and Space City Weather.
A Cold Front Signals a Break From Humid Gulf Weather
A stalled cold front is sweeping cooler, drier air into the Houston metro area—including Cypress—setting the stage for a Thanksgiving that actually feels like fall.
Forecast models show:
Highs in the upper 60s on Thanksgiving Day
Evening temperatures dipping into the upper 40s to low 50s
A noticeable drop in humidity
Meteorologist Eric Berger of Space City Weather notes that confidence in this cooldown is “pretty high,” with the front bringing a welcome shift after several unusually warm autumn weeks.
Early Week Brings Rain and Storms Before Conditions Improve
Before the holiday cool down, Cypress will see several days of muggy, unsettled weather:
Friday–Sunday: Slight chances of showers each day
Monday: The wettest and most impactful travel day
Tuesday: Clearing skies and improving conditions
NWS Houston/Galveston reports a 70% chance of showers and thunderstorms Monday, especially in the afternoon and evening. Travelers heading out early for Thanksgiving should plan for delays on the roads.
