Texas – A thick blanket of warm fog presses against Houston’s skyline this Saturday morning, softening headlights along I-45 and I-10 as early Thanksgiving travelers push into the metro. Moist air beads on windshields, and the low gray haze clings to neighborhoods from Pearland to Spring, hinting at a long, unsettled stretch ahead.
According to the National Weather Service Houston/Galveston office, fog lingers through the early hours, gradually lifting as showers redevelop later today. Drivers should slow down on elevated ramps, keep extra distance on slick lanes, and plan for delays where visibility briefly drops near bayous and open fields. Air travel may feel the pinch as Hobby and Bush Intercontinental manage low cloud ceilings through midmorning.
According to meteorologists, a surge of Gulf moisture strengthens Thursday as a disturbance approaches from the west. Thunderstorms could form by mid- to late-afternoon. Some storms may produce brief heavy rain, creating pockets of ponding on feeder roads and slowing early holiday travelers heading toward coastal counties. While no winter threat exists this far south, models hint at a broader “Winter Tease” over Texas as cooler air sharpens to the north behind the system.
According to regional transportation officials, Friday brings another chance of scattered showers, but breaks of sun should appear by midday. Highs hold in the low 80s, and lighter winds improve freeway conditions. This window offers better timing for long-distance Thanksgiving travel, grocery runs, and outdoor holiday prep. Saturday remains warm and humid with additional widely scattered storms possible, though coverage stays limited.
For now, Houston’s late-November pattern leans humid, warm, and storm-prone—typical for the early transition season. Travelers should stay flexible, check road conditions often, and expect the weather to shift quickly as Thanksgiving approaches.
