Keeping it cool and cruising along

We’re on cruise control in the weather department, mostly. It’s a little chilly out there this morning! We’ve got mid to upper 30s officially at Bush and Hobby, but the outer suburbs are all generally in the low 30s, with a few upper 20s peppered in for some also.

TODAY AND SATURDAY

Another stunner of a winter day today after the AM chill. Expect loads of sunshine throughout the day and high temps up near 60 degrees.

Ahead of our next system tonight, temperatures won’t be quite as cool, so upper 30s to low 40s. Clouds will increase and we could see a few showers by early Saturday morning. The threat of a few showers continues into early Saturday afternoon, but we’ll start to clear out later and find temperatures around 60° or so again, provided we see sunshine.

Sunny, cool and dry weather likely for most of the next week

It’s cold this morning, with lows generally in the upper 30s, under clear skies. This is how we’re going to be for awhile.

TODAY

As high pressure reigns over head, temperatures will only climb into the upper 50s. Tonight will be very cold, but I expect lows in metro Houston to remain just above freezing. Parts of Montgomery County and other areas to the north and northeast may see a light freeze.

FRIDAY

Mostly sunny, with a high near 60 degrees. Some clouds and a southerly flow will return Friday evening. This could allow a few scattered showers to develop Friday night and Saturday morning. But I wouldn’t expect much rain.

NOAA rain accumulation forecast for now through next Wednesday. (Weather Bell)

Winter’s back, and it’s staying for the next week

Lows are generally in the upper 40s this morning across Houston, and this is going to be one of our warmest mornings for awhile.

TODAY-THURSDAY-FRIDAY

With a cold front comfortably offshore we’re going to see three days of mostly sunny skies, highs around 60 degrees, and lows in the 30s. Friday will likely be the coldest of the mornings, with temperatures remaining just above freezing in the metro area. However we’re going to have to watch this freeze line to see if it creeps south into Houston. Freezes are definitely possible in Montgomery County and places to the north and north east.

After today, turning winter-like in Houston for the next week

It’s quite warm for early February this morning, not to mention muggy, with temperatures in the upper 60s across Houston and relative humidities near 90 percent. But that’s about to change…

TODAY

By late morning northwest winds should arrive, bringing dry air into the region. Under sunny skies highs today will rise into the low 70s, but temperatures will fall pretty quickly after sunset this evening. Wednesday morning’s low should be in the low 40s.
