Residents in Houston and the surrounding Southeast Texas area can expect to navigate through patches of early fog and experience warm, humid afternoons for the majority of this week. According to the National Weather Service, the fog is forecasted to dissipate by 11 a.m. today, giving way to mostly cloudy skies with highs reaching nearly 79 degrees, and similar conditions are expected to persist through Thursday.
Tuesday kicked off with temperatures in the 60s and fog that was projected to clear by 10 a.m. These patterns are poised to repeat daily through Saturday as afternoon highs are set to climb into the lower 80s. "Tuesday will be just like Monday. We will start muggy and foggy with temperatures in the 60s," was mentioned in a statement obtained by Click2Houston. The rest of the week will continue to feel muggy with highs in the lower 80s and lows in the mid-60s.
The weather takes a turn on Sunday as a cold front is expected to bring cooler, drier air to the region. This shift will move temperatures closer to seasonal norms, with highs in the mid-60s—similar to what mornings have felt like this week—and lows potentially dropping into the 40s. As per the NWS forecast, there is also a 40% chance of showers, breaking the largely dry spell the area has experienced.
Despite the extra humidity that may to generally feel oppressive, the chance for isolated showers exists, but "most days stay totally dry." This was noted in a report from Click2Houston. The 10-day outlook keeps nighttime lows steady in the mid-60s with the forecasted foggy conditions largely persisting each morning. Residents should prepare accordingly for the humid and warm weather ahead and the eventual cool-down as the weekend approaches.
