In brief: Tuesday brought gorgeous weather into the region, and if you missed it fear not, there is more to come. We’re going to see continued mild conditions and sunny skies through much of the weekend as spring marches into Houston and hangs around for awhile.
Wednesday
There is less widespread fog this morning, but it is still present in some locations so take a little extra care on roadways. Beyond the fog, we’ll see sunny skies today with high temperatures likely in the mid- to upper-70s. Winds will come from the south at 5 to 10 mph with moderate humidity levels. So basically, really really nice outside. Lows tonight will fall to around 60 degrees in Houston, with slightly cooler conditions further inland.
Thursday
A modest front will sag into Houston beginning Thursday morning, and pushing into the city by around noon. This will be most noticeable with the increased cloud cover. Although I cannot rule out some light showers, I don’t think most of us will see any rain. Highs Thursday will be in the low- to mid-70s, with drier air arriving in time to push lows on Thursday night down to around 50 degrees in Houston.
Friday
This is going to be a splendid day, with high temperatures around 70 degrees, low humidity, light winds, and lots of sunshine. This could be a top-10 day in terms of weather this year in Houston. Friday night will again see lows near 50 degrees in Houston.
Saturday
For those who like conditions a little bit warmer, Saturday will also be excellent, with plenty of sunshine and highs in the upper 70s. Winds will again be light, but as they shift to come more from the offshore, Saturday night will be warmer, with lows only falling into the mid-50s or so.
Sunday
We’ll see some clouds on Sunday, which may help limit highs in the mid-70s. It will also feel a bit more humid out. Lows on Sunday night will only fall into lower 60s for most, so a bit of a warmer night.
Next week
Monday and Tuesday look warmer, with partly sunny skies and highs near 80 degrees. We’ll also flirt with some Houston-like humidity on Tuesday. However, a front arrives later on Tuesday or Tuesday night, and this should usher in some cooler weather for the rest of the week. The front may also deliver some showers, but the signal for this is not overly strong.

I almost don’t know what to do with all this pretty weather.
Cherish every second of it with all of your heart because it is going to be a miserable sauna in hell for 6 months soon.
Yeah ⚘
I’m a little concerned about the lack of rain. I only picked up half an inch of rain this month in my yard and it looks like we are going to be dry for a while. Par for the course with La Nina I guess.
Please help me settle an argument with my husband. I want to go ahead and remove the towels, etc from the outside pipes. He says it might freeze again, and I say it won’t freeze again. Advice?
Do you queen.
Taking into account the computer model forecast for the next two weeks you look more than safe…
I’ve removed my frost coverings from my outlet pipes, but it takes me 15 mins to put them all back and I’m okay with doing that again this season if I need to; I don’t know what your level of effort to replace your coverings is though. I spread some seed so I needed to use my hose anyway, so just put the frost covers in the backyard (which I should clean up anyway).
He remembers that some years we can get a late freeze in March, but it is uncommon. Even if we do get a freeze in mid-March, it likely won’t be a hard pipe bursting freeze. The last time we had a hard pipe threatening freeze in March was in 2002 when it dropped to 22 degrees in Houston on March 4th. That was and still is the record low for that date.
It is highly unlikely that we will see such a cold snap this March, so yall should be good.
