Houston is starting Monday, March 2, 2026, thick with clouds and humidity, with temperatures sitting near 64°F and pockets of patchy to locally dense fog cutting visibility across the metro. Early commutes along bayous, bridges and the coastline are likely to drag as motorists and mariners deal with the low ceiling and reduced sightlines.
Foggy Mornings, Sun‑Soaked Afternoons
Areas of fog are expected to hang on into mid-morning, especially along and east of I-45 and near Galveston Bay, before conditions clear out and highs rebound to about 83°F. Southeast winds will stay light early, then increase to around 5 to 10 mph this afternoon and help the fog burn off. This timing and the Dense Fog Advisory for portions of the bay and nearshore waters come from the National Weather Service.
Warm Week With Rising Rain Chances
Unseasonably warm weather is expected to hold through the week, with daytime highs in the low to mid 80s and overnight lows in the 60s. A slight chance of showers appears by midweek, but the better shot at scattered to widespread showers and thunderstorms, including the potential for locally heavy rainfall, arrives Saturday into Sunday as a stalled front edges into Southeast Texas.
Commute And Marine Tips
Plan on a little extra time for any early trips, use low-beam headlights and ease off the gas in low-visibility zones. Boaters and ferry operators should be ready for pockets of dense sea fog in Galveston Bay and nearby waters; we covered the fog in more detail yesterday. Check local forecasts and any updates from the National Weather Service before heading out this evening.
