Houston residents can expect to navigate patchy fog during their morning commutes before enjoying another stretch of unseasonably warm weather. According to the National Weather Service, the city will see patchy fog lift by 9 a.m. today, giving way to sunny skies with a high around 88 degrees, while calm winds become southeast at around 5 mph in the afternoon. Tonight, the pattern is set to continue, with fog developing after 5 a.m. and mostly clear skies with a low around 68 degrees.
Tomorrow's forecast suggests more of the same, with early fog expected to clear before 7 a.m., making room for another sunny day. Temperatures will remain high, near 86 degrees, with southeast winds picking up to 10 to 15 mph, gusting as high as 20 mph. The night will bring a low around 72 degrees, with gusty winds continuing.
As we look toward the middle of the week, Houstonians should keep an eye open for potential rain. Wednesday has "a 40 percent chance of showers and thunderstorms," notes the National Weather Service. Meanwhile, the rest of the week also promises a mix of sunny days intermingled with potential wet weather, including a 60 percent chance of showers and thunderstorms by Thursday.
Contrasting the local weather, the Storm Prediction Center indicates no severe thunderstorm areas forecast for the region. The national outlook highlights isolated thunderstorms possible primarily along coastal areas of the Pacific Northwest and the Carolinas, with Houston's weather largely spared from tumultuous conditions.
Meanwhile, significant fog has been spotted again this morning, especially in more rural areas around Houston, but according to the post by the NWS Houston on X reassures that "by 10 am or so, we should be back to full sun and another unseasonably warm day across Southeast Texas."
Fog again this morning? Yup, fog again this morning. The most significant fog looks to be in more rural areas to east and the west/southwest of Houston. By 10 am or so, we should be back to full sun and another unseasonably warm day across Southeast Texas! pic.twitter.com/Biksf8lT35
