Houston woke up to mostly clear skies on Sunday, with Hobby Airport (KHOU) starting the day near 61°F and only light, variable winds. Temperatures will climb quickly, and most neighborhoods should land near 81°F under mostly sunny skies this afternoon. Late-night and early-morning patchy fog is possible inland tonight and into Monday morning as southeast flow returns and low-level moisture increases.
Afternoon And Tonight
Sunday afternoon looks mostly sunny, with southeast winds around 0 to 10 mph and a high near 81°F. The immediate coast will stay a few degrees cooler. Tonight, skies turn partly cloudy, with lows settling in the mid-60s and southeast breezes near 5 to 10 mph, which will keep coastal spots on the mild side. If you have outdoor plans, this is the warm and dry stretch before rain chances start to creep back in later in the week.
What To Expect This Week
A gradual warming trend rolls into early next week, with highs climbing into the mid-80s Monday through Wednesday and a slight chance of isolated afternoon showers returning Tuesday into Wednesday. According to the National Weather Service, the best odds for scattered showers and thunderstorms arrive later in the week as a trough approaches, so it is worth checking back on the forecast if you have outdoor events. Winds may gust to around 20 mph at times Monday and Tuesday as southeast flow tightens the pressure gradient.
Marine And Commute Notes
Boaters should be ready for slowly increasing seas and strengthening southeast winds by midweek; caution flags could be needed offshore and nonessential gulf runs should be reconsidered. Inland drivers should watch for patchy late-night and early-morning fog on bay crossings and in low-lying areas, and check real-time traffic and cameras via Houston TranStar before heading out. If you are planning weekend outdoor events, keep an umbrella on the list, since better rain chances appear likely late in the week into the weekend.
