HOUSTON, Texas – The city wakes under a hazy dawn, humidity thick enough to glisten on rooftops and windshield glass. It’s a quiet, mild start that hints at a warm-up more fitting for early October than mid-November. Houston’s stretch of sunshine continues through the end of the week — but by the weekend, patchy fog and light rain chances begin to build.
The National Weather Service in Houston–Galveston reports that Thursday and Friday will stay mostly sunny and warm, with highs around 80–81°F and calm south winds. Air quality remains good, and visibility excellent through midday. However, moisture returns from the Gulf late Friday night, leading to dense morning fog in low-lying areas and along major corridors like I-45 and the Gulf Freeway. Drivers should plan for slower commutes through early Saturday.
Saturday looks hot for November — highs near 83°F with sticky humidity — before a subtle pattern shift begins late Sunday. A weak front and an upper-level disturbance could bring a 20–30% chance of showers or isolated thunderstorms across southeast Texas into Monday and Tuesday. Severe weather isn’t expected, but brief downpours and lightning are possible during the warmest parts of the afternoon.
For now, Houstonians can expect five more days of late-fall warmth before the Gulf’s moisture brings a damp, unsettled feel early next week — the kind of humidity that makes it hard to tell whether winter’s still waiting or simply taking a break.
