Texas wakes up under a blanket of low clouds and patchy fog, and drivers across Houston are already seeing reduced visibility on early routes.
According to the National Weather Service, fog will develop and thicken through the early morning hours, with visibility dropping near or below 1–3 miles at times. Conditions improve by mid to late morning as sunshine breaks through and temperatures climb quickly toward the mid-80s.
Major corridors including I-45, I-10, and the 610 Loop may see brief slowdowns early. Plan extra time and use low beams in fog-prone areas. Humidity remains high, keeping roads slightly damp in spots before sunrise.
The bigger pattern shows a steady stretch of warm, stable spring weather. Highs hold near 85 degrees through midweek with mostly sunny afternoons. Nights stay mild in the mid-60s, allowing fog to redevelop late and linger into early morning hours.
Meteorologists note this cycle will repeat for several days. Patchy dense fog forms before sunrise, then burns off quickly. Winds stay light, which helps fog persist longer in low-lying areas.
By Thursday and Friday, sunshine dominates with continued warmth in the mid-80s. No significant rain is expected, keeping travel conditions generally favorable outside of morning fog windows.
This setup reflects a broader southern U.S. warming trend as spring settles in. For now, the main concern is visibility during early drives. Slow down and stay alert in fog-prone zones. Are you seeing fog where you are this morning?
