Overview

  • Thursday’s highs hold in the upper 60s after a near-50 start across Houston.
  • Gusty northerly winds bring drier air, with 25–30 mph gusts creating tricky travel on exposed roadways.
  • High pressure builds late Thursday, allowing winds to diminish into the evening.
  • Friday begins in the mid to upper 40s before sunshine and returning southerly flow push highs into the mid-70s.
  • Temperatures climb into the 80s this weekend ahead of a Sunday night–Monday front that is expected to drop highs to the mid-60s, though exact timing may shift.
