Texas — Headlights glow through patches of low fog across parts of Houston this morning as humid Gulf air settles across the metro. Visibility briefly drops in pockets near bayous and low-lying roads, creating a slower start for early commuters.
Areas of fog are possible through mid-morning before gradually lifting. Drivers along Interstate 45, I-10, and the 610 Loop should expect occasional visibility reductions and damp pavement early in the day.
Once the fog lifts, skies remain mostly cloudy but temperatures climb quickly. Afternoon highs reach around 82°F, continuing the stretch of warm and muggy March spring weather across southeast Texas.
A few isolated showers or thunderstorms may develop later in the afternoon, but widespread rain is not expected yet. Winds remain light from the south, helping pull more moisture inland from the Gulf.
Clouds and humidity increase tomorrow as the atmosphere grows more unstable. Patchy fog could return early before another warm day near 82°F across the Houston area.
Meteorologists are closely watching a developing storm system expected to arrive by Wednesday, March 11. Rain chances jump sharply to around 80 percent as widespread showers and possible thunderstorms move across southeast Texas.
Periods of rain could slow traffic during the morning and afternoon commute across the Houston metro. Brief heavy downpours may reduce visibility and cause standing water on busy highways.
Conditions begin improving by Thursday. Sunshine returns and temperatures fall slightly into the upper 60s, bringing a refreshing break from the humid pattern.
With Spring Break travel increasing across Texas, drivers should stay alert for changing weather conditions and possible wet roads midweek.
Long-range outlooks suggest warmer-than-average temperatures continuing across the Gulf Coast heading deeper into March.
