The National Weather Service reported a sunny Monday to come, with moderate highs inching up near 61 and calm east winds shifting southward in the afternoon. As skies stay clear into tonight, expect temperatures to drop to a cooler 46 degrees as a southeast breeze takes a quiet turn to the northeast after the sun dips below the horizon.

According to the National Weather Service's forecast, Tuesday brings mostly sunny skies to Houston, with a climb to a comfortable 66 degrees. But at night, the low hovers around 48 while an east wind persists around 10 mph.

While the Storm Prediction Center assures that thunderstorms are not on today's cards for the U.S., Wednesday in Houston is expected to partially cloud over, with a high again striking the low 60s. Forecasts suggest a change as showers and potential thunderstorms threaten the region come Friday, boasting a 60% chance of rainfall and a high holding steady near 61.

KPRC 2's Storm Tracker Team warns of a biting chill, with areas to the north of Houston potentially grazing the freezing mark early Monday morning. Winds will also be very light, five miles per hour or less across most of the area advising of temperatures likely feeling colder due to wind chill effects in an update acquired by Click2Houston. With the week progressing, mornings look to settle near the average low of 46 degrees, except Friday, which seems to favor a slight uptick to 55 for the low.

Early this week, a shift as the next weekend approaches, with chances of showers jumping to 40 percent on Saturday and a cooler high of 56 degrees to accompany a mostly cloudy day. Sunday brings back the sun with a high near 60, offering a brief solace before another week begins.
