Gorgeous Spring weather will continue through Saturday

Good morning. It’s another pleasant start to the day, with low temperatures in the low- to mid-50s.

TODAY

With mostly sunny conditions and a southerly wind, we’re likely to see high temperatures climb to around 80 degrees today. Tonight will be warmer with more moist air and some clouds, with lows only falling to around 60 degrees.

WEDNESDAY

Mostly cloudy skies should limit high temperatures to just below 80 degrees. A moderately strong cool front will approach the region during the day, and likely pass through the region some time around sunset or shortly thereafter. Because of warmer air aloft I don’t expect anything more than spotty showers during the evening hours.

Almost all of the rain associated with a mid-week front should come well to the northeast of Houston. (Weather Bell)

A near perfect Spring week on tap for Houston

What a great weekend of weather, eh? Well the good news is that our lovely spring weather should hold for most of this week.

TODAY and TUESDAY

After a cool start this morning—about 50 degrees for most areas of town, warmer along the coast—we’ll warm to around 80 degrees under sunny skies. Winds out of the south-southwest will push low temperatures on Tuesday and Wednesday morning up to around 60 degrees.

Relative humidity levels are pleasantly low this morning across Houston. Enjoy!

Almost summer-like conditions today, rain possible Friday, still gorgeous after

Good morning. It’s quite muggy out there again today, and don’t look for any relief until tonight.

TODAY

Who is ready for temperatures in the upper 80s? That’s going to be possible today with a strong southerly flow ahead of a cold front. We should see partly cloudy skies and a chance of scattered showers ahead of the front, which should reach Houston sometime around sunset, or shortly after. But it will be well after sunset before we see much cooler air.

Relative humidity forecast for midnight tonight shows the approximate position of the cold front at midnight. (Weather Bell)

Warm, muggy, and icky—but what a weekend after this mess

It’s a pretty blah morning across the region as mist and light showers and muggy air hang over the region. And that’s just how it’s going to be.

TODAY

An upper level storm system will move into Texas today, bringing with it a chance of severe weather. Right now the most favorable area of hail and damaging winds is well to the north of Houston, but we can probably still expect to see a few thunderstorms in the metro area during this afternoon and early evening hours. Otherwise we’ll continue to see warm (about 80 degrees) and misty conditions.
