Texas air feels thick and damp this morning, with low clouds hanging over Houston and headlights glowing through patchy fog along I-45 and the Gulf Freeway. Temperatures sit at 69 degrees after sunrise, and visibility could briefly dip before midmorning.
According to the National Weather Service in Houston/Galveston, patchy fog will fade after 8 a.m. Clouds gradually thin, and highs climb to 81 degrees. Southeast winds increase to 15 mph, with gusts near 20 mph by afternoon.
A stray shower remains possible early, with a 20 percent chance before skies partially brighten. The bigger story is warmth. Highs hold near 81 degrees again Wednesday and Thursday as Spring Weather settles across Southeast Texas.
By Friday, rain chances tick up. There is a 30 percent chance of showers during the day, followed by a better chance for showers and thunderstorms into the weekend. Saturday brings a 60 percent chance of storms, and Sunday keeps a 60 percent rain risk in place.
Plan for wet roads if you are traveling along Beltway 8 or I-10 late week. Brief downpours could reduce visibility and create ponding in low spots. Keep devices charged and monitor alerts as the pattern turns more active.
Clocks spring ahead at 2 a.m. Sunday, March 8. We gain longer evenings just as a warm spell continues. Early next week stays mild, with highs near 80 and periodic storm chances in the 6–10 day outlook.
For now, enjoy the warm breeze and classic March Spring Vibes. Are you ready for stormier skies by the weekend?
