In a year as dry as this one, any precipitation is usually welcome, but does it have to rain on Christmas?
Apparently yes, and Christmas Eve too, according to the National Weather Service.
Grab your coat and umbrella, because light rain has begun falling over the northern half of southeast Texas, and the forecast calls for a nearly 100 percent chance of showers this afternoon in the Houston area.
The National Weather Service outlook calls for highs Saturday in the lower 50s and northeast winds of 10 to 15 mph.
Saturday night, there's a 40-percent chance the showers will continue, with lows around 40. The northeast winds are expected to become more northerly by evening in response to a surface low across the northwestern Gulf of Mexico, the weather service said.
Christmas Eve's rain will persist through Christmas Day, with a 60 percent chance of showers Sunday morning decreasing to 50 percent in the afternoon.
Highs on Sunday will be in the lower 50s, with north winds of 10 to 15 mph. Sunday night's forecast calls for cloudy conditions with a 40-percent chance of showers and lows around 40. North winds will remain at 10 to 15 mph.
The rain is expected to taper off Monday, when it will be cloudy with a 20 percent chance of showers in the morning and afternoon. Highs are expected to be in the upper 50s.
