HOUSTON, Texas — The morning air feels crisp and calm, the kind that glows faintly gold as the sun lifts above the Gulf haze. Houston is stepping into a tranquil start to November — one filled with steady sunshine, mild mornings, and warm afternoons that will nudge back toward the 80s by midweek.
The National Weather Service in Houston/Galveston reports a quiet pattern through much of the week, anchored by a broad ridge of high pressure across Texas. Today stays sunny and comfortable, with highs near 72°F and light north winds. By Monday and Tuesday, winds shift east then southeast, pulling in slightly warmer air that will lift daytime highs to the upper 70s and low 80s. Nights remain pleasantly cool, dipping into the low 50s to near 60°F.
This stretch offers nearly ideal conditions for commuters, travelers on I-45, and those prepping for early holiday plans. Dry air and low humidity will keep visibility clear, and no rain is expected through Thursday. Coastal residents can expect calm surf and light onshore breezes, a far cry from the unsettled Gulf patterns seen earlier this fall.
By Friday into the weekend, forecasters hint at subtle changes — a weak boundary could brush southeast Texas, bringing a modest cool-down and a few more clouds. Still, no major rainmaker or cold front looms just yet.
As the nation trends into a weak La Niña winter, Houston’s early November warmth could persist a bit longer, delaying the city’s first real “cold snap.” For now, enjoy the stretch of dry, golden days — the kind that makes even a Monday commute feel like a gift from late fall.
