Rain chances increase over the next 24 hours before sunshine returns

Good morning. The fog is back across Houston, but it should begin to dissipate later this morning. Houston will then be warm and humid for another day and a half, before a front with some sticking power ushers in several days of very pleasant, spring-like weather that should last into the weekend.

Tuesday

After the fog clears this morning skies will remain cloudy, and we may see some scattered to isolated showers throughout the day. Otherwise, it will just be fairly humid, with highs likely reaching the low 80s in most locations. Conditions overnight will remain cloudy, with low temperatures possibly not dropping below 70 degrees for much of the metro area.

Wednesday

After another warm morning, a front will approach the region. Rain chances will be fairly high during the morning hours, and I expect much of the region will likely see around 0.25 to 0.5 inches of rain before a drier air mass moves into the region. We may see some a few thunderstorms to the east of Interstate 45 where the atmosphere should be a little bit more unstable.

The drier air should reach Houston by around noon, give or take, and move offshore during the afternoon hours. Temperatures will drop as skies clear and the Sun goes down, with lows falling to around 50 degrees Wednesday night.

Thursday and Friday

Just a pair of lovely spring days, with sunny skies, highs near 70 degrees and lows in the upper 40s to around 50 degrees. Some brisk northerly winds may linger into Thursday morning out of the north, but those should begin to die down later in the day.

Saturday and Sunday

The sunshine party continues into the weekend, with mostly clear skies on Saturday, and at least partly clear skies on Sunday. Highs on Saturday will again be around 70 degrees, before getting into the mid-70s on Sunday as the overall flow turns more southerly.

Next week

Most of next week looks warmer, with highs in the 70s and 80s, and lows in the 60s. There may be another front passing through by mid-week but that is far from a certainty.
