Severe Spring Weather Looms Over Houston Area
A welcome respite from winter is expected to bring a spring-like pattern of sunshine, warmth, and fog to the Houston area this week. With two storm systems sweeping across Texas, residents can anticipate an increase in humidity levels that will lead to more foggy mornings.
Starting on Monday, multiple areas across Southeast Texas woke up to dense fog, but it quickly lifted as the day progressed, replaced by clear skies and a comfortable temperature of low 80s. However, nighttime temperatures will continue to rise, paving the way for another foggy night and potentially hazardous commutes for commuters.
Forecasters predict that this pattern of warm afternoons and foggy mornings will persist throughout the week. At least several days with dense fog are expected to impact morning commutes, particularly in coastal areas.
In addition to the spring weather, two storm systems are forecasted to move through the region over the course of the week. One system is expected to pass through Tuesday into Wednesday, bringing scattered showers and potentially causing some isolated thunderstorms. However, it does not appear that heavy rain will be widespread this time around.
Later in the week, another storm system is predicted to arrive on Saturday, with a higher chance of heavier downpours and thunderstorms. This may impact both Valentine's Day and Mardi Gras celebrations as they approach.
For now, temperatures are expected to remain pleasant throughout the week, but it remains uncertain whether the area will experience any additional freezes before February ends.
