Spring gets sprung this week for Houston

Good morning. Today is the last day of “climatological winter,” which runs from December through February. And perhaps fittingly, while we are starting out cold this morning, we will end up warm this week. In fact, most of the week looks pretty lovely, with lots of sunshine and high temperatures mostly in the 60s and 70s. Enjoy the splendid weather Houston!

Monday

It is quite chilly this morning, with low temperatures mostly in the low to mid-30s across the region. But ample sunshine should help push high temperatures this afternoon into the low- to mid-60s, with light northerly winds. Overnight lows will probably drop to around 40 degrees in Houston, with upper 30s possible again for inland areas, and warmer conditions right along the coast.

If you’re headed out to the Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo tonight to see Cody Johnson, temperatures this evening will be in the mid-50s, with light winds and clear skies. After the show, the temperature probably will have dropped several degrees, into the upper 40s, but otherwise there will be no weather concerns.

Tuesday

This should be another partly to mostly sunny day, but with high temperatures reaching the upper 60s to 70 degrees for most areas. Winds will again be light. Overnight lows will be a few degrees warmer, likely in the mid-40s for most.

We’ll climb the stairs with temperatures this week. (Weather Bell)

Wednesday and Thursday

With high pressure still largely holding sway, we should continue to see partly to probably mostly sunny skies, with highs slotting somewhere in the low- to mid-70s, and overnight low temperatures in the 40s and 50s.

Friday, Saturday, and Sunday

The onshore flow will resume later this week, and by Friday we’ll start to see the influence of this in the form of more clouds and humidity. This will set the stage for a partly to mostly cloudy Friday and weekend, with highs in the upper 70s to low 80s. Overnight lows will rise to the low 60s this weekend, with nearly matching dewpoints. At this time rain appears unlikely, but the chance is not zero. Our next front, which looks fairly weak, probably won’t come until at least next Monday. Spring, as they say, is about to be sprung.

  1. Glad for warmer weather. The weekend was much cooler than it should be for this time of year. Friday and Saturday were miserable with the wind, cool temperature, rain.

  2. (raises hand) Yes, I loathe the hot weather. But, I’m hoping March can be mild as far as Houston weather goes by staying in the 70s.

  3. Chronicle’s Weather Page includes a “Comfort Index”, 0 to 10 covering 6 days…this morning’s Index shows 6 straight “10’s”…YEEEHAAAW!!
