Houston will see one more cold morning, with low temperatures in the low 40s for most of the area, before conditions moderate toward more spring-like weather. For Super Bowl organizers, weather this week will be nearly perfect—although there is some concern about rain chances on game day itself.

Today

A westerly flow will ensure that Houston will see one more dry day today, with highs rising into the low 70s under mostly sunny skies. Lows tonight will fall to about 50 degrees. It’s going to be lovely.

Tuesday and Wednesday

Winds are going to swing back around to come out of the south, but it does not appear as though conditions will be overly blustery. Thus the transition from very dry, the more moist weather will be gradual. As a result look for highs around the mid-70s on Tuesday and Wednesday, with continued mostly sunny skies. Overnight lows will climb back up to about 60 degrees by Wednesday night.

Cooler air has arrived, with overnight lows falling into the 40s north of Houston, and into the low 50s for most of the rest of the metro area. Thus begins a period of prolonged, cooler winter-like weather.

Today through Sunday

Conditions will be more or less sunny to partly sunny the next four days, with a reinforcing cool front arriving on Saturday to keep things on the chilly side. Expect highs of around 60 degrees most days, with lows of around 40 degrees—warmer for the coast and cooler for inland areas. Rain chances will be near zero, even Saturday’s frontal passage should be dry for most areas. Enjoy the return to winter.

Monday through Wednesday

Temperatures will begin to warm up, from the upper 60s on Monday to the lower 70s on Wednesday. Rain chances remain near zero, and lows will probably stay in the low 50s through Wednesday morning under the influence of moderate southerly winds.

Good morning. A cold front will move across the area this morning, ushering in a period of significantly cooler weather after an abnormally warm spell that has lasted more than two weeks.

Today

Some very light rain has fallen ahead of the front, and more scattered, light showers are possible as the front moves through northern Houston around sunrise, and off the coast by, or before about noon.

In the wake of this morning’s front winds will be moderate, holding at about 5 to 10 mph out of the north rather than gusting strongly. Highs today should remain in the 60s for areas well inland, but will still reach the lower 70s for coastal areas. Drier air will allow the area to cool off quickly this evening, and lows should fall to around 40 degrees for inland areas, and the mid- to upper-40s closer to the coast.
