Hello, spring?

On the last day of February it seems like we’re about to enter a transition period from winter to more consistently spring-like weather. In other words, we’re not going to see cold weather any time soon.

TODAY

Some areas are seeing fog that should burn off later this morning. Otherwise, as moisture returns from the Gulf of Mexico, we’ll see a warm, cloudy day with highs in the mid- to upper-70s. There’s a slight chance of rain. Lows tonight won’t fall far — only into the 60s.

TUESDAY

After another cloudy and warm day a cold front will arrive later on Tuesday. We’ll have another slight chance of rain, but a capping inversion should prevent widespread activity. Rain chances appear to be best well to the northeast of Houston. Lows should fall to around 50 degrees during the night.

Another stellar weekend

One thing we haven’t seen a shortage of in recent weeks are nice weekends. And we’ll be adding to that with this weekend.

TODAY

Expect plenty of sunshine again today. It will be a few degrees cooler than yesterday, as a reinforcing shot of cool, dry air arrived late Thursday afternoon. Just nice.

Beautiful weather through the weekend — enjoy!

It’s cool this morning, and generally in the low 40s across the Houston metro area. Also, the winds have finally calmed down.

TODAY and FRIDAY

Houston will see mostly sunny days, with highs in the upper 60s to 70 degrees, and lows in the 40s. Conditions will be near perfect for late February.

Temperatures at the beginning of tonight's Republican Debate will be about 60 degrees, falling to about 50 by its end. Hotter inside, I am sure! (Weather Bell)

SATURDAY

We’ll see more of the same to start the weekend, as additional cool air moves into the region on Friday. After a cool start in the low 40s, expect sunny skies and highs near 70 degrees.

Fantastic late winter weather for the rest of the week

Good morning. The rain is over. The wind is coming to an end. Welcome to several days of splendid late winter weather.

TODAY-FRIDAY

Under the influence of high pressure, expect three similar days to end the work week, with highs in the mid- to upper-60s, ample sunshine, and cool nights with lows in the upper 30s for areas far inland, and in the low 40s closer to the coast. These will be great days.

It's cold across Texas this morning, but we'll warm up when the Sun comes out. (Weather Bell)
