Houston residents can look forward to a sunny Tuesday with a pleasant high of around 65 degrees. As the day progresses, a calm wind is expected to shift south, hitting around 5 mph in the afternoon. The night will follow suit with mostly clear skies, and temperatures are anticipated to dip to a low near 50, reports the National Weather Service.
An incremental warm-up is set to carry Houston through the week as per the forecast, although a light freeze could brush the Piney Woods on this chilly morning. Following the frost, temperatures are projected to climb, offering a respite from the cold with a "slow and steady climb rather than a quick jump," according to a recent update from CW39. A weak front is expected to arrive late Wednesday, offering a brief break in the warming trend that'll likely last for about a day, without leading to any significant temperature drop.
Looking ahead to Wednesday, Houston will bask in sunny conditions with highs nearing 72 degrees, and winds shifting from south to northwest in the afternoon, the National Weather Service details. The subsequent evenings promise mostly clear skies and steady lows, hovering around the low to mid-50s until the weekend approaches. Thursday should shine bright as well, with an expected high of around 69 degrees and light winds.
Approaching the weekend, Houstonians might opt for lighter layers with highs forecast to rise near 80 degrees by Friday. However, another front is brewing on the horizon; its exact arrival time remains a touch uncertain, with models differing in opinion. Current estimates suggest rain could sprinkle the cityscape "Sunday night into Monday or Tuesday," CW39 notes, a forecast that is susceptible to shifts. The extent of the rain will hinge upon moisture levels as the front moves in over the weekend.
Sunday's forecast flips to partly sunny skies with a daytime high around 65, shifting to mostly cloudy by nightfall and a low around 50. As the new week commences, Monday carries a 20 percent chance of showers and is likely to be mostly cloudy with highs near 60 degrees, rounding off this week's weather narrative for Houston, as per the NWS.
