Houstonians have been enjoying unseasonably pleasant temperatures this March, and according to National Weather Service forecasts, the trend is set to continue. The comfortable climate has graced the city with a high of about 75 degrees and a low of around 53 degrees, with sunshine prevailing through most days.
Over the first half of March, the weather in Houston has consistently hovered above the expected seasonal norms, with average highs reaching a balmy 78 degrees and average lows at a crisp 55 degrees. However, a weak cold front predicted for Wednesday could introduce a brief chill, as reported by the Houston Chronicle. While the cold front is expected to bring cooler temperatures briefly, it is forecasted that the temperatures in the Houston metro area will make a comeback to the 70s by Thursday afternoon.
The city's stretch of agreeable weather is particularly appealing to those planning outdoor activities. "If you don’t have any outdoor plans on Sunday, make some," suggests the Houston Chronicle, emphasizing the ideal weather conditions expected. The Sunday forecast anticipates a rise in temperatures from the low 60s in the morning to 70 degrees by noon, with an afternoon high potentially hitting 76 degrees, spotlighting a perfect opportunity for locals to indulge in the outdoors.
By Friday, the tables are set to turn yet again, as southerly winds tout the return of moisture-rich air to Southeast Texas. While this change promises a slight increase in humidity levels, the Houston Chronicle notes that "a few showers will be possible," but reinforces that the overall chances for rain remain relatively minimal at about 20 percent. As the city oscillates between blue skies and light breeze, residents prepare for the possibility of brief showers at the week's end.
Looking further ahead, Houston residents can expect warmth to continue into the upcoming Saturday, with a foreseen high near 83 degrees, reflecting the city's penchant for rapid weather changes.
