Houston will see cloudy skies and cool temperatures today, with patchy fog clearing by 9 a.m. and a high near 60°F. East winds will be around 5 mph. Tonight, there’s a 20% chance of showers after 3 a.m, according to the National Weather Service.

On Wednesday, Houstonians can expect scattered morning showers, a 30% chance of rain throughout the day, cloudy skies, and highs in the mid-60s. Fog may develop in the evening, bringing heavier rain as a slow-moving cold front arrives with Gulf moisture. This could lead to isolated downpours in Houston and other Texan cities like San Antonio or Austin, with southeast winds around 10 mph, as reported by Houston Chronicle 

"Forecast guidance suggests a line of thunderstorms will approach Houston through Thursday afternoon and evening," bringing a 90% chance of precipitation, showers, and the potential for severe weather, including damaging winds and possible tornadoes, especially near the I-35 corridor in the morning. Residents should remain vigilant, monitor weather alerts, and be prepared for sudden changes, particularly in flood-prone areas. By the weekend, the cold front will clear, leaving mostly sunny skies and cooler evening temperatures around 47°F, as stated by the National Weather Service.
