Texas – Low clouds drift across the skyline this morning, and damp pavement reflects traffic lights along city streets. The air feels cool but not biting. Winter pauses briefly as Houston edges toward a calmer, brighter stretch.
According to the National Weather Service, a slight chance of light showers lingers through late morning before clouds gradually thin. Highs reach near 59 as winds remain light. Any rain should stay brief, leaving streets mostly wet rather than slick.
Across southeast Texas, a broader warming trend develops through midweek. Sunshine dominates Wednesday and Thursday as highs climb into the upper 60s. Northerly winds ease, and humidity drops, making afternoons feel crisp and comfortable for January 2026.
In Houston, tonight turns mostly clear with lows near 48. Wednesday brings full sunshine and a noticeable warm-up. Afternoon gusts may briefly pick up, but conditions stay dry and pleasant. By Thursday, highs reach the upper 50s with clear skies continuing into the evening.
While no winter hazards are expected, commuters should remain cautious early today on elevated roadways like I-45 and Loop 610. Damp spots could linger through mid-morning. For now, heavier coats can stay packed away, though mornings still feel cool.
By Friday and Saturday, temperatures surge again. Highs approach the upper 60s Friday and low 60s Saturday under sunny skies. Nights remain mild, keeping frost concerns off the table. After all, this is a classic Texas January swing.
