Friday, February 6, 2026 — Houston woke up on the chilly side, with clear skies and temperatures hovering near 50°F at local observation sites. By this afternoon, though, it will feel a lot less like midwinter and a lot more like spring, with sunshine nudging highs into the mid to upper 70s.
Sunny Warmup Through Friday
Highs are expected to peak near 77°F today. Inland neighborhoods should see mid to upper 70s, while spots right along the water stay a few degrees cooler. West to southwest winds of about 5 to 10 mph will ease as the day wears on, with lighter gusts around the bay.
According to the National Weather Service Houston/Galveston, dry and quiet weather holds through Monday, with the next shot at showers not arriving until Tuesday, February 10, 2026.
Bay And Boating Notes
Out on the water, the forecast is less laid-back. Low tide cycles are expected to drop water levels near or below mean lower low water in portions of Galveston Bay, which ups the odds of shallow-draft boats finding the bottom the hard way. Small-craft caution flags are posted for some coastal zones through about 3 p.m. CST Friday, February 6, 2026, and brisk winds could keep caution flags flying on Gulf waters into Saturday.
Before you back the trailer down the ramp, check tide and port conditions through NOAA PORTS and steer clear of any skinny water if levels look questionable.
Storm Chances Arrive Next Week
A southern-stream trough is expected to move in and mix things up on Tuesday, February 10, 2026, increasing clouds and bringing a roughly 50% chance of showers and thunderstorms through the day. Widespread severe weather is not the favored scenario, but forecasters still flag a low-end chance for a few stronger storms, so it is worth having a backup plan for any outdoor plans.
Any measurable rain would be a plus for drought-stricken areas, although rainfall totals are currently expected to stay on the modest side.
What To Do Today
Plan on a light jacket for the morning commute, then enjoy a near-perfect afternoon for errands, patio lunches and park time. Boaters and anglers should aim for higher tide windows, keep a close eye on local conditions and hold off on any extra-shallow runs if water levels look dicey.
