Houston residents should prepare for some unpredictable weather this week, with foggy mornings giving way to a significant warm-up. If you’ve been waiting for some spring-like temperatures, you won’t have to wait much longer! After starting the week with reduced visibility and cooler conditions, warmer air will surge in, making it feel more like late March than February.
Monday: A Foggy Start with Sunshine Peeking Through
The week begins with patchy morning fog, which may slow down the morning commute. Drivers should be cautious, as visibility could be limited in some areas. However, once the fog clears by mid-morning, the sun will take over, pushing temperatures to a comfortable 68°F (20°C). Compared to last week’s chill, this will feel noticeably warmer.
By the afternoon, the skies will be partly cloudy with light winds, making it a great day for outdoor activities. Evening temperatures will drop into the mid-40s (8°C), so if you’re heading out at night, a light jacket may still be necessary.
Tuesday: Warmer Weather Arrives
Houston will see another round of morning fog, making for another potentially tricky commute. However, once the fog lifts, temperatures will continue their warming trend, reaching 74°F (24°C) by the afternoon. The humidity levels will also begin to rise, making it feel even warmer.
This is the first big sign that spring is on the way, as we shift away from winter’s chill and into a pattern of warmer, sunnier days. If you’ve been waiting to enjoy the outdoors, Tuesday marks the beginning of a fantastic stretch of weather.
Wednesday: The Warmest Day of the Week
By midweek, Houston will be basking in warmth. Temperatures will climb to 77°F (25°C), the highest of the week, under mostly sunny skies. Compared to the 44°F (6°C) average we experienced earlier this month, this will feel like a complete seasonal shift.
Expect light breezes throughout the day, keeping the air fresh and comfortable. This will be the perfect day for outdoor activities, whether it’s an afternoon at the park, a run along Buffalo Bayou, or a trip to a patio restaurant.
Thursday: A Slight Cool Down, But Still Pleasant
Thursday will bring a weak cold front through the area, but don’t expect winter to make a return just yet. While there may be a few morning clouds and breezy conditions, sunshine will still dominate the day. High temperatures will reach 72°F (22°C), slightly cooler than Wednesday but still comfortable.
This dry cold front won’t bring rain, but you may notice a slight dip in humidity levels as the air dries out slightly. By the evening, temperatures will drop to the upper 40s (8°C), bringing a crisp, comfortable night.
Friday: Gorgeous End to the Workweek
Friday will bring more of the same beautiful weather, with highs around 74°F (23°C) under bright, sunny skies. For those planning weekend activities, this will be a fantastic preview of the upcoming weather.
With low humidity and gentle breezes, this is the ideal day for anything outdoors—from a lunch on the patio to a sunset walk. Expect cooler temperatures at night, but nothing too drastic.
Weekend Outlook: Saturday Stays Beautiful, but Sunday Brings Changes
The weekend will start off picture-perfect, with Saturday featuring clear skies and highs near 72°F (22°C). However, by Sunday, clouds will return, and showers may develop.
While temperatures will still hover around 70°F (21°C), an incoming weather system could bring light rain by the evening. If you’re making weekend plans, Saturday will be the better day for outdoor activities, while Sunday may require an umbrella.
