Houston, TX — Southeast Texas remains under persistent drought conditions, with Houston’s temperatures staying above normal this weekend. As foggy mornings give way to sunny skies, residents should expect continued high temperatures near 87°F today and through the next few days. A potential break from the dry conditions may arrive midweek, with rain chances increasing after Tuesday.
According to the National Weather Service, today will see patchy fog between 7 a.m. and 9 a.m., clearing by the afternoon as temperatures climb. This pattern continues into Saturday, with fog clearing by 10 a.m. and high temperatures reaching 87°F. The forecast warns of high heat throughout the weekend, with patchy fog expected each morning, impacting visibility on roads, especially on I-10 and surrounding areas.
Looking ahead, Houston could finally see relief next week as a weather pattern shift may bring rain starting on Wednesday, with a 30 percent chance of showers. This marks the first significant rain opportunity in weeks for drought-hit areas like the Brazos Valley. Local authorities urge residents to remain cautious, as foggy conditions could affect driving safety during morning commutes on major highways.
