The forecast for Houston today hints at patchy fog lifting by mid-morning, progressing to a day of partial clouds with eventual sunshine and a high temperature near 88 degrees. According to the National Weather Service, gentle southwest breezes will accompany the warmth, encouraging Houstonians to revel in what will likely be a pleasant day outside.
Tonight, there's a 20% chance of rain after 4 am, with clouds increasing and temperatures dropping to the mid-60s. Southern winds will pick up, gusting up to 20 mph.
On Friday, there's only a 10% chance of rain before 7 am. The day will be partly sunny with winds from the south at 10 to 15 mph, and gusts could reach up to 25 mph. Saturday will be calm, starting with some clouds before clearing up to a sunny day. The temperature will reach a cool 78 degrees, and winds from the west could gust up to 20 mph, as per the National Weather Service.
As reported by the Houston Chronicle, while Houston enjoys this pleasant weather, the conditions are not uniform across the state. To the north, Wednesday beckons trouble with storms brewing and severe weather expected along a weak cold front. Dallas, in particular, may see storm activity flare up, though Houston should remain untouched, bathed in sunlight.
Despite Thursday's forecast consisting of higher temperatures, potentially approaching Houston's first 90-degree day of the year, it steers clear of the humidity typically associated with Texas heat. Instead, Houston will experience something akin to a "dry heat" due to southwestern winds bringing in a dry air mass from Mexico, as reported by Houston Chronicle.
There might be some clouds and a few storms, but rain is expected to be light. After that, the weekend will be pleasant with temperatures in the mid-70s and plenty of sunshine. Overall, Houston’s weather will be warm and sunny with a small chance of rain to keep things interesting.
