HOUSTON, Texas – The pre-dawn air feels crisp but calm across the metro this morning — stars overhead, wind nearly still, and the scent of dry leaves in the air. At 43°F, the city is waking up cool but heading for a sunny Veterans Day that will remind Houstonians more of spring than fall.
The National Weather Service in Houston reports clear skies and southerly winds returning by midday, helping push afternoon highs toward 70°F. Those attending parades or outdoor ceremonies can expect ideal weather: warm sun, low humidity, and light breezes through the afternoon.
As the week unfolds, temperatures continue to climb — highs in the upper 70s Wednesday and low 80s Thursday and Friday. The air grows slightly more humid, but conditions remain mostly clear across the I-45 corridor and Gulf Coast. It’s a perfect stretch for travel, yardwork, or early holiday decorating before the next change moves in this weekend.
Starting Saturday, forecasters track a 30–50% chance of showers and isolated thunderstorms, especially inland and north of the city. While severe weather looks unlikely, heavier rain could slow travel near Highway 59 and I-10. Sunday may bring lingering clouds and spotty storms before drier air returns early next week.
After this brief warm spell, models hint at a cooler November pattern returning before Thanksgiving — a potential “winter tease” for Southeast Texas. For now, residents should take advantage of this mild, comfortable stretch before the Gulf’s weather mood shifts again.
