We’ll be cooler for a bit, but the chilly mornings won’t last long

Good morning. After a weak cool front crossed the region later on Tuesday we’re seeing more normal temperatures for this time of year, with lows in the low 50s.

TODAY

A northerly flow will hold temperatures in the low 70s today under mostly sunny skies. However the front will wash out, and winds will resume from the Gulf of Mexico this evening, which in turn should prevent low temperatures from falling below 60 degrees.

THURSDAY

We’ll see fairly warm conditions, with highs near 80 degrees, before a second cold front arrives later in the day. This will drive lows down to near 50 degrees by Friday morning. Although we can’t rule out a stray shower with the front, I don’t expect any rain.

FRIDAY

After a relatively cool start to the day, highs on Friday will climb into the mid-70s under mostly sunny skies.

THE WEEKEND

We’ll continue to see seasonably warm conditions for the weekend, with highs in the mid-70s, under mostly sunny skies, and lows around 60 degrees. It will certainly be pleasant, but you might like the nights to be cooler.

NEXT WEEK

I’m still seeing a pattern change in the upper level of the atmosphere that will draw more moisture toward Texas early next week. We should see scattered to widespread rain showers from Monday through Wednesday, depending on the storm track, and mostly cloudy skies. It’s a bit too early to forecast rainfall amounts.

Do you want more gorgeous spring-like weather? OK, enjoy!

Good morning. After any fog burns off this morning we’ll see a warm, mostly cloudy day.

TODAY

With moisture flowing back into the region from the Gulf of Mexico, and a weak cold front due to arrive later this afternoon or evening, there’s a chance of scattered rain showers today. But most areas probably won’t see any rain. Highs before the front should rise into the upper 70s, and lows tonight in the lower 50s.

As temperatures this morning show, a cold front is coming -- but it won't be here until this evening, and it will modify quite a bit before then. (Weather Bell).

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.

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.
