Good morning. It’s quite a bit warmer out, as expected, with a muggy start to the day and temperatures in the upper 60s.
TODAY
A cold front is coming, likely reaching the central part of the metro area by about noon, and pushing off the coast late this afternoon. Expect breezy conditions along with and after the front. We’ll see quite a warm day, with highs in the low 80s, before temperature cools off tonight as the Sun begins to set. Also, much drier air is moving in behind the front.

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.
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).
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.
Rain accumulation forecast for Monday and Tuesday. (Weather Bell)
