On this late January day, Houstonians look out their windows to a landscape slightly warmed by the winter sun, as the city prepares for a gradual shift to sunnier skies. The National Weather Service reports temperatures rising to 67 degrees, with a steady northwest wind at 5 to 10 mph, and gusts potentially reaching up to 20 mph.
As night falls, the winds are forecast to gradually calm to a gentle 5 mph from the northwest, eventually settling down after midnight. Houston is set to experience a mostly clear evening, with temperatures cooling to around 47 degrees.
Moving into the weekend, those in the Bayou City can anticipate a steady rise in both the mercury and the promise of clearer skies. According to CW39, "Expect tranquil weather and gradual warming to continue through the weekend and into the middle part of next week." The forecast sees Saturday basking in full sunshine, with highs brushing up near 69 degrees as gentle southern winds flow at a modest 5 mph in the afternoon.
As the new week unfolds, the city will witness a series of mostly sunny to partly sunny days, with an ascending warmth, nearly reaching an even 80 degrees by Thursday. The evenings, holding steady in the mid-60s, signal a calm period before a potential shift to a more active weather pattern. Light southern winds will persist, contributing to the gradual warmth across the region.
