THE WOODLANDS, TX – Those who are grousing about the warm weather predicted for Christmas Eve through the end of 2021 may have forgotten the frozen fubar of February earlier this year. The moral of this story is two-fold: “be careful what you wish for,” and “enjoy it while you can.”

It’s a Warm Winter Wonderland in The Woodlands


It’s Christmas Eve and already temperatures are climbing through the 70s for a projected high of 81 under sunny skies. While Frosty the Snowman may not have had a chance here, the slightly cooler temps that will come after sundown around 5:30 – with an overnight low of 67 – will be perfect for walking or driving through Woodlands neighborhoods under starry skies to enjoy millions of twinkling holiday lights or hit an evening worship service or dinner out.

Christmas morning will dawn - literally - around 7:15 in the morning, or approximately three hours after most young children have rousted their parents from visions of sugarplums and a world without alarm clocks. A few clouds may roll through on Saturday, but expect the temperatures to slightly overtake the day before with a high of 82. If you simply must wish to enjoy watching a Yule log burning in the fireplace, your best options are to either crank up the air conditioner, or tune in to one of those streaming TV channels.

With weekend lows expected to be hovering around the mid-60s both evenings with no precipitation on the horizon, it’s still perfect weather for daytime outdoor picnics and nighttime walks. Sunday will see sunny skies and a seasonal year-end record high of 83 degrees, and then – finally – a cooling trend will slowly but surely get us through New Year’s Eve.

Next comes that fugue state between Christmas and New Year’s where half the population is on vacation and the other half is massively overworked. Monday and Tuesday next week will have us just breaking 80 again (with lows in the upper 60s) under partly cloudy skies. These days are your best bet to enjoy good weather for the end of 2021.

Wednesday and Thursday will bring along a decent chance of thunderstorms, and along with those will be high temps that finally get back into the 70s – admittedly 79 degrees, but let’s take what we can – and lows in the upper-mid-60s.

The difference between New Year’s Eve and New Year’s Day probably couldn’t be a better split between 2021 and 2022. Next Friday will be partly cloudy have temperatures returning to 80 degrees; however, overnight temperatures will at long last get all the way down into the 50s, with a New Year’s Day high of only 72, nearly ten degrees than the day – and year – before.

For New Year’s Eve, the warmer temperatures should get the roads dried up enough from the previous days’ rains, so that careful and sober drivers can commute in relative safety. We encourage all of our readers to party as responsibly as possible and make it home from NYE celebrations in one piece.

Be sure to tune in next Friday as we bring you our weather forecast for the first week of 2022.
