FOX 26 Houston Weather Forecast

Wow! Our temperatures this morning were the coolest since early April and we have some beautiful weather ahead today. Expect lots of sunshine, very dry air and lighter winds than yesterday. Speaking of yesterday, it was the first time in more than a month that the temperature was below average. One issue to be aware of - with very little rain over the last few weeks, we are slipping back into a drought and many local counties have outdoor burn bans in effect. Grass or brush fires are possible, so let's do everything to avoid that. Over the next 5-7 days, we'll feel conditions gradually get more humid and highs could return to near 90 by next week.
