"A Record Warm Spell Lingers, But A Cold Front Is on Its Way"
A persistent pattern of foggy mornings and record warm afternoons is expected to continue until a strong cold front arrives late Friday, according to forecasters.
The good news for those looking to beat the heat is that inland areas can expect ample sunshine and temperatures in the low 80s. However, coastal residents will face sea fog all day long, which may cause hazardous driving conditions.
But don't get too comfortable - a dense fog advisory remains in effect along the coast and around Galveston Bay, with improved visibility expected on Thursday morning as winds develop overnight.
The warm spell is not expected to be as hot as it was during the week of Christmas, when temperatures set new records. Today's highs are expected to reach the low 80s, and more records could fall over the next few days.
However, a strong cold front will bring an end to the streak of above-normal temperatures on Friday, ushering in cooler weather for the entire weekend. While the rain chance is currently at 40%, it may climb as confidence grows in the frontal timing.
Marathon weekend looks chilly, with temperatures dipping into the upper 50s on both Saturday and Sunday. There's also a slim chance of rain on Saturday, but just 10% is predicted.
For now, there are no freezes in sight in the next 10 days, but winter's chill will eventually return.
