Houston is starting Tuesday, March 24, 2026, in a literal haze, with mid-60s temperatures and pockets of locally dense fog cutting visibility and slowing the morning drive. The low clouds are expected to hang on through the early commute before lifting, setting the stage for a warm, sunnier afternoon in the 80s.
Foggy Start, Steamy Finish
Patchy to locally dense fog should linger until around 9 a.m., then gradually clear out into partly sunny skies with a high near 84°F. South winds will stay on the lighter side early before picking up into the afternoon to around 6 to 12 mph, keeping the humidity firmly in place even as the sun breaks through. Overnight lows remain in the mid-60s the next few days, so expect more muggy mornings and repeat chances for low clouds, according to NWS Houston/Galveston.
Commute And Travel Tips
Before you hit the road, it is worth a quick look at live traffic cameras. The Houston TranStar map and video feeds provide real-time road conditions so you can spot slowdowns in the fog. On the streets and freeways, ease off the gas in low visibility, stick with low beams, give yourself extra following distance and pad your travel time. Transit riders may see minor delays, and boaters should be ready for patches of sea fog around the bays during the evening and early morning hours.
Late-Week Shift Possible
The warm, mostly dry setup looks locked in through the work week, with highs holding in the low to mid-80s. A dry cold front is on track to slide through late Friday or early Saturday, which could trim daytime highs back into the 70s for the weekend. Gusty southerly winds, at times up to about 20 mph, are possible overnight into Wednesday and again when the front moves through, so outdoor planners may want to stay flexible. For specific planning details and any marine or travel advisories, keep an eye on the official NWS forecast and local traffic feeds.
