Texas – Headlights glow in a wall of gray this morning across Houston, where dense February fog has swallowed skylines and softened freeway lights. Visibility has dropped to one-quarter mile or less in spots, and drivers are creeping along slick pavement.
A Dense Fog Advisory remains in effect until 9 a.m. for much of southeast Texas, including Houston, Galveston, Sugar Land, Pasadena, and surrounding communities. At Hobby Airport, visibility has hovered under a mile with saturated air and calm winds allowing fog to thicken.
Travel along I-45, I-10, the Gulf Freeway, and Beltway 8 may be slow through mid-morning. Low visibility could make driving hazardous. Use low-beam headlights and leave extra distance between vehicles. Conditions may improve gradually after sunrise as temperatures climb toward 75 degrees.
Patchy fog lingers into late morning before skies turn partly sunny. The warmer air sets the stage for a more active pattern heading into the weekend.
Saturday brings a 90 percent chance of showers and thunderstorms, mainly after the afternoon. Highs reach the mid-70s, and winds may gust near 25 mph. Periods of heavy rain are possible. Showers continue Saturday night before tapering early Sunday.
Sunday turns mostly sunny with a high near 70. Washington’s Birthday looks bright and pleasant, with highs around 73 degrees. Early next week trends warmer, with mid- to upper-70s returning by Tuesday and near 80 by midweek. The broader 6–10 day outlook favors above-normal temperatures, reinforcing spring vibes across southeast Texas.
For now, the immediate concern is fog. Slow down and allow extra travel time through 9 a.m. Are you seeing dense fog in your neighborhood this morning?

Saturday: Showers and storms likely, high 74.
Sunday: Mostly sunny, high 70.
Monday (Washington’s Birthday): Mostly sunny, high 73.
