Texas – Streetlights blur behind drifting fog this morning as damp air clings to roads and windshields across Southeast Texas. The chill feels subtle now, but colder air is already moving south, setting up a sharp temperature drop by the weekend.
Patchy fog is expected early across the Houston area, reducing visibility during the morning commute. Some neighborhoods may see brief dense pockets before skies brighten. Drivers should slow down and allow extra stopping distance, especially on I-45, I-10, and the Beltway during early travel hours.
As the day progresses, sunshine takes over and temperatures climb quickly. Afternoon highs reach the mid-60s, offering a short-lived taste of spring. By evening, however, winds shift and cooler air begins to filter in. Overnight lows dip into the upper 30s, signaling a bigger change ahead.
Friday stays dry but cooler. Highs fall into the low 50s, with gusty north winds making it feel colder. Clouds gradually clear Friday night, allowing temperatures to drop sharply. Lows near 31 degrees are expected, putting sensitive plants and exposed pipes at risk in colder suburbs.
Saturday remains sunny but brisk, with highs near the low 40s. Clear skies and calm winds Saturday night allow temperatures to bottom out near 25 degrees, the coldest of this stretch. Residents should plan ahead to protect pets, plants, and outdoor plumbing.
Sunday marks the start of a rebound. Sunshine returns with highs near 50, and temperatures continue rising into early next week. By Monday and Tuesday, highs push back into the 60s, with rain chances increasing by midweek.
This pattern mirrors a broader winter contrast nationwide, as deep cold grips northern states while Texas oscillates between mild afternoons and sudden freezes.
