Good morning, and I hope you had a positive weekend. Houston will see three heat days earlier than a extra winter-like sample returns to the area. That’s not to say it is going to be blisteringly chilly, however slightly merely that we’ll see highs typically within the 60s, with lows within the 40s and 50s. We may also have a smattering of rain possibilities, however as of now there may be nothing too important on the horizon.
MLK Day
In the event you’re planning to attend one of many parades that mark in the present day’s vacation, you’ll be able to anticipate heat situations, with excessive temperatures within the higher 70s and principally cloudy skies. I can’t rule out a number of very gentle showers this afternoon, however I don’t anticipate thunder or something disruptive. Winds can be out of the south at about 10 mph, with gusts as much as 20 mph. Low temperatures tonight will drop into the low 60s, besides for much inland areas similar to Faculty Station, which will drop decrease as a little bit of drier air strikes in from the northwest.
Tuesday
Some fog can be potential close to the coast on Tuesday morning, however it will dissipate as temperatures heat up within the morning hours. This can be a partly sunny and heat day, with excessive temperatures reaching 80 levels for a lot of the realm away from the coast. Document excessive temperatures for a number of places are positively in play with a heat, southwesterly stream over the area. Low temperatures on Tuesday night time will solely drop into the mid- to upper-60s.

This can be one other warm-ish day forward of the following chilly entrance, with principally cloudy skies and excessive temperatures within the higher 70s.

The primary half of the weekend appears to be like moist with the onshore stream returning, and highs within the low 60s. I don’t anticipate something too loopy, however a number of tenths of an inch of rain appears to be like potential, with a number of thunderstorms. A reinforcing entrance arrives Saturday night time to carry us extra dry air. Sunday will see highs within the low 60s, subsequently, with in a single day lows dropping into the 40s.
Subsequent week
There are some hints within the fashions of a stronger entrance arriving on Tuesday or so of subsequent week, which might result in in a single day lows within the 30s, and presumably even a lightweight freeze. I’ve very low confidence in such an end result at this level, however I’ll take a deeper look tomorrow as I do know a few of you’re already questioning whether or not Houston has had its final freeze of the 2022-2023 winter. All I can say is that, proper now, it’s far too early to make any definitive statements.
