HOUSTON, TX – A soft veil of patchy fog drifts through early-morning streets as Houston wakes to a mild 49°F start this Wednesday. The Gulf air feels calm and slightly damp, a hint of the warming trend that will carry southeast Texas into the weekend.
By mid-morning, skies clear quickly under bright December sunshine, with temperatures climbing to the low 70s.
