It’s quite warm for early February this morning, not to mention muggy, with temperatures in the upper 60s across Houston and relative humidities near 90 percent. But that’s about to change…

By late morning northwest winds should arrive, bringing dry air into the region. Under sunny skies highs today will rise into the low 70s, but temperatures will fall pretty quickly after sunset this evening. Wednesday morning’s low should be in the low 40s.
Parts of Houston reached 80 degrees on Sunday, and we’re going to have another similarly warm day today. That raises the question: Is winter over?
The short answer is no. A fairly strong cold front will arrive this week on Tuesday, and next week has the potential to be even colder. The forecast models suggest we will see an Arctic outbreak in the upper Midwest, and there’s the possibility some of that very cold air may reach down into the Houston area by around Wednesday, Feb. 10. Obviously there are no guarantees so far out, but at this point next week does look quite cold.
I’m not sure you could script a string of days better than you could have yesterday, today, and Saturday here in the Houston area. If you know anyone up north, these are the types of days you package up and sell to them in January.

Sunshine will dominate the skies once again today. After hitting 65° yesterday, we’ll make a run for the low 70s today.
I think today is most definitely a near-perfect weather day for most people.
It’s chilly this morning across Houston, generally in the low- to mid-30s, and some areas such as Tomball, Brenham and The Woodlands have dipped just below freezing.

With sunny skies we’ll warm into the mid-60s today. With light winds we’ll see near deal winter weather. Lows tonight will be about 10 degrees warmer.
