A Sudden Shift in Weather: Houston Braces for Milder Temperatures
Texans are in for a surprise this week as a mass of dry air moves out, ushering in milder temperatures that will stick around for several days. But don't be fooled – one more chilly morning on Monday is expected to bring patchy frost and fog, albeit brief.
By Tuesday, the sun will be shining bright, with highs reaching into the mid-60s by noon and briefly touching 70 degrees under partly cloudy skies. Moisture returns ahead of a cold front later in the day, setting the stage for increasing cloud cover and potential rain showers.
The good news is that arctic air won't be following the cold front through to Wednesday and Thursday, when temperatures are expected to remain in a more "seasonal" range. Daytime highs will stay in the 60s, with lows near 40 degrees.
Rainfall is likely to impact Houston on Tuesday evening, with scattered showers possible throughout the day giving way to heavier downpours during the drive home. While some areas may see over an inch of rain, most neighborhoods are expected to pick up less than half an inch.
Looking ahead to the weekend, a welcome respite from freezing temperatures is in store. Sunny skies and highs in the 70s will provide a refreshing change of pace after two consecutive weekends with sub-freezing temperatures.
For now, though, it's business as usual – the dry air that brought the chilly Monday morning will need to be pushed out by this new mass of milder air. With no cold blasts expected until mid-February at the earliest, Houston residents can bask in the warmer weather for the time being.

️! theyre gettin a lil surprise - milder temps are movin in and stickin around 4 a few days 
its gonna be a nice break from all the freezing temperatures we had last weekend 
but dont get too comfy cuz ur gonna wanna grab yer jacket for monday morning tho 
fog and patchy frost is expected lol who knew houston was ready for some sunshine 
!
i mean who wants to freeze their butt off one day and then be stuck with 60 degree weather the next?! it's like my body is all over the place 
but seriously, it sounds like houston is in for a nice break from all that arctic air... can't wait to see those sunny skies and 70s temps 
just wondering why houston has to deal with so much extreme weather change? i mean, one day it's freezing and foggy, the next it's warm and sunny... isn't that like living on an asteroid or something? 
ugh I hate when my kid's schedule gets all mixed up like this! First it's freezing temps and now we're supposed to be enjoying 70 degree days? It's like Mother Nature is trying to keep us on our toes 
My little one was really looking forward to going to the park this week, now I'm just gonna have to cancel those plans and hope for sunnier days next weekend. Fingers crossed! 
. I mean, don't get me wrong, 70s is way better than sub-freezing, but shouldn’t we be talking about how nice it's gonna feel after two straight weekends of being below freezin'? Like, who doesn't love the beach vibes at this time of year? 
Anyway, gotta appreciate that the rain might help with the drought 
but ugh, rain on Tuesday evening is not cool... fingers crossed it doesn't ruin too much of my plans 
anyway, glad we don't have to deal with arctic air for a while 
️
. I'm so over this winter chill 
. Plus, it's nice to have a break from all the rain we've been getting lately 
️. Bring on those warm temps! 
. and hey, if there's rain on tuesday, that just means our plants will get some water 
. can't complain about that! 
. But hold up, one more chilly morning on Monday? Patchy frost and fog? Yikes, my grandma used to complain about that stuff when she was a kid 
. Guess it's back to winter boots for now 
. Anyway, rain's comin'... just what we need, right? 
!
and btw dont expect it to stay warm forever like the "new normal" is just a myth 
maybe that's a topic for discussion at the next city council meeting 
I was so done with frosty mornings and sub-freezing temps, now we can enjoy some proper spring vibes. And hey, a little rain on Tuesday isn't the end of the world, right? 
It's all good, Houston can handle it!
