Texas – Cool air hangs over quiet neighborhoods as the sun climbs, but it won’t last long. By afternoon, warmth spreads quickly across Southeast Texas, flipping the seasonal script in a matter of hours.
Morning temperatures hover in the upper 40s around Houston, with clear skies and light north winds. The air feels crisp early, especially along bridges and shaded roads, but sunshine drives a steady rebound. Highs reach the mid-60s today, making for a comfortable afternoon.
According to the National Weather Service in Houston, the warming trend strengthens heading into Friday. High pressure settles in, pushing temperatures into the mid-70s with dry air and bright sun dominating the region.
That rapid shift brings subtle impacts. Early mornings remain cool, while afternoons feel springlike. Drivers may notice brief windshield fog near bayous at sunrise, but travel conditions stay smooth across I-10, Highway 59, and the Beltway.
Friday night remains mild, with lows only dipping into the lower 50s. Saturday continues the warm pattern, topping out near 74 degrees. Outdoor plans look solid, though the February sun can still feel stronger than expected. Light layers work best.
By Sunday, warmth peaks again with highs near 75 degrees under mostly sunny skies. Evening clouds increase slightly, but rain holds off through the weekend. The overall pattern favors dry, calm conditions across Harris County and nearby coastal communities.
Looking ahead, early next week stays warmer than normal. Clouds increase by Monday, and rain chances return by Tuesday. Even then, temperatures remain elevated. NOAA’s 6–10 day outlook leans above normal, hinting that winter’s grip continues to loosen across Texas.
For now, it’s a classic February curveball. Did the afternoon warmth catch you by surprise today?
