HOUSTON, Texas – Thick fog has settled across Southeast Texas early this morning, swallowing headlights and softening skyline lights from Katy to Galveston. Visibility dropped to near zero before dawn, triggering a Dense Fog Advisory that runs through mid-morning. Commuters should slow down, use low beams, and allow extra travel time on I-45, I-10, and Beltway 8 before sunshine burns the haze away.
According to the National Weather Service in Houston, conditions will clear by late morning as temperatures soar into the mid-80s under full sun. The warm, humid air won’t last long. A stiff north wind is expected to sweep through late Saturday into Sunday, driving in the season’s first real cool push. Highs tumble nearly 25 degrees, from the mid-80s Saturday to the upper 50s by Monday, marking a decisive turn toward fall’s final act.
Sunday will feel sharply different — bright, breezy, and nearly 30 degrees cooler than today’s muggy start. Gusts may reach 25 to 30 mph near the coast, making outdoor events or Veterans Day setups a bit tricky. The chill deepens Monday morning, with lows dipping into the low 40s across much of Harris, Montgomery, and Fort Bend counties.
Residents planning early holiday travel should expect more fronts like this in the coming weeks. Meteorologists note that upper-air models are showing a broader November cooling pattern, possibly extending toward the Thanksgiving period. For now, Houston’s weather story is one of quick turns — foggy at dawn, blazing by noon, and brisk by Monday.
